It looks like your bug was fitted with an aftermarket remote oil filter adapter. It helps to filter the oil and keep it cooler than the stock unti does. Also dual Kadrons are a great combo with a larger than stock cam, engle is pretty much one of the best cams for bugs on the market. Also I would suggest another great addition that would be a perfect addition to that current setup would be some ratio rocker arms. If you are looking for some parts I would suggest www.thesamba.com or www.toplineparts.com Or I would simply purchase a Hot Vws magazine and order from some of the retailers listed in their magazine. I wouldn't advise getting exterior parts from Jcwhitney as they are not very good quality. The mechanical parts they carry seem to be good though but bumpers and carpet sets and stuff like that are less than OEM quality BUT they are cheaper on the wallet. It all depends on what your intentions are for the car. Hope all this helps!
