i got eletrical tape on my stock intercooler ducting as block off plate, hey it stop the air.



i got some L-brakcet(source unknown, maybe form some old shelving) holding up my glove box. before the right side of it was broken, but now it look good, you can't tell the brakcet is there.

be careful with that electrical tape, charge air gets really hot and really strong fary fast. i used to have the same mod except i used silicone tape and ducttape.



something ghetto yet somewhat clever thing i did to my car is on the turbo outlet hose.



the diameter was too small so i superglued a smaller couper inside the larger couper and made a transition hose.



for my blowoff valve, i couldnt find anyone to weld a flange onto my pipes so i cut a hole out of my intercooler the same size as the hole on my blowoff valve, and used a cut up coupler as a gasket... works great

I have duct tape on my intake as well where that little round canister used to sit for the my AC. Took the AC out so just taped it up.
