EASY DIY - Aluminum Intake box/Heat shield for 1.8T

it's got some low-key mounting points that are not really visible.
And it's pretty thin, i just lined the turbo side with a heavy duty heat reflectant so that could be what's making this look bigger than they are.

It work better if the surface facing the engine was smoother (if the aluminum sheet was facing the engine instead of the "thermal pad"). It would work even better if you had a polished aluminum sheet facing the engine as well.
