Nguyen I notice your turbo is in very close proximity to your valve cover and the hot side is uncovered. Doesn't that pose a threat to your VC (paint peeling off at the very least)?

Stainless Steel filters have also proved to be the best for making more power.
the stock airbox has an inlet which lies just above the radiator
so it doesn’t suck in the the warm air coming from the inter
cooler and radiator. Optimal cooling would be if there’s an inlet from the hood but don’t feel like cutting the hood now

I used to have a Dei titanium turbo blanket it lasted 3 months as it melted away. What a waste of $300. Valve cover paint still fine after 6 months

What are your actual inlet temps after the intercooler? What intercooler are you using?

Wow this is macguyver at its best lol. I like the idea of using an airbox but not like this, that tape is sure to fail at some point with all the heat and suction.

Not what I asked lol. Are you actually logging and seeing issues with IAT after the cooler? I REALLY doubt you are having IAT issues post cooler at your power level and that IC.
