Sure, search the titles in this forum for "TID".
Also, your MAF might not be working correctly turned on it's side like that.

From your car domain profile you appear to have a cone filter. What you need to do is go to Home Depot or a place like that and pick up some plumbing tubes to do the same job as the stock turbo inlet duct. It's not particularly difficult, but it will take a bit of experiementation.

What kind of difference are you hoping for? Supposidly people have experienced boost increases with TIDs, so it must reduce restriction in the intake. I can't give you my experiences because I created a monster wastegate at the same time as I did the TID. I don't see why you couldn't do it out of aluminum, but you need to be able to clamp it onto the turbo. As was suggested do a search on TID if you want to see all the different concepts people have come up with.

straightening out that pipe has to make some difference. Also, the MAF looks more like its upside down, not just on its side.
