I'm afraid the best way to do this is to just dive in. Take your front clip off and start mocking things up. You're going to have to trim/cut your bumper reinforcement (rebar) for sure, and you may have to modify other things as well. There is just no easy way to do it.
As far as that piping kit, you must have beads rolled on all the ends, or you will blow a coupler off.
Finally, watch your coolant temps. FMIC's can cause an increase in coolant temp on the New Beetle because of the small front grille. I would assume a person could locate a lower temp fan switch to put in, perhaps from a VR6.
It will work in the end, but it's going to be a lot of time and work. That's the main reason I have an upgraded SMIC
