Stage 2 is completed. It is just an aluminum barrier to try to keep the heat from blowing directly on the intake or minimize radiant heat from the downpipe and turbocharger from easy access to the intake. There are three layers of aluminum foil here. I may add an additional piece right at the turbo inlet.
You may notice that I have the aluminum at the top part of the grill being held on by the hood piece there. I removed the pieced that hold it down, lifted it up and moved the aluminum underneath it and re-installed the pieces. This is to help hold the aluminum in place. I'll take a look at it after a few long drives to see if the engine bay airflow is moving it around.
No, I am not recommending anyone do this. Perhaps it could affect the engine bay airflow in a negative way. Perhaps heat may be 'trapped' underneath and destroy your engine. I just wanted to get that part out of the way.
I am now calling this aluminum barrier the
