Got home early today... Bored as usual.
Well... I found some 20Ga sheet metal at home depot for like 14 bucks... so I played in the garage. :-D
I know its ugly... I am going to make a fiberglass top I think... that or try to use a different chunk of sheet metal and actually cut with something other than tin-snips...

ah ha, your engine coolant top reminded me i need to pick up some washer fluid since i am about to get the light. if there are any shops in your area that install turbos, go to them and have a hard thick rubber pipe made for that rather than using the plumbing pipe

hahaha... why? does sched 40 let more heat in than ABS?
I am actually trying to get some 3 inch aluminum piping... but I am having a hard time finding anyplace that sells it by the foot. I dont need a 10 foot stick.
I will then get that ceramic coated at the exhaust shop... maybe header wrap after that. IDK

McGyver, what the hell is that. the drain from the port-a-potty. you dont need to cover the top of the filter. the hood is what seals the deal. but if you are interested in some type of cover go with plexiglass. cant beat the price and it looks nice with the hood open. i saw this one at cruise night

ah ha... 
but anyway... ceramic coated aluminum should be pretty resistant to heat... I figure if turbo piping is aluminum and its exposed to temps way way hotter than normal engine temps... it might work.
I am kinda looking into AEMs brute force intake though... A shop just started selling them in my area and they are trying to get me to get one... Pretty cheap too. (I think it was $225 or something)
