i have seen similar aftermarket bits of kit like this before, basically an
aluminium plate with a tube and a cone airfilter that bolts to the fuel
dizzy. Aftermarket vw websites sell them.....

It looks like it would work real well for a turbo swap. I used the top
part of a Rabbit GTI air box for my swap and turned the distributor
around. The bottom half I made out of SS sheet metal. That let me fit
it under the hood without having to cut the fender. This looks like it
would allow a slightly lower height. This might allow room for a few
air molecules between the passenger side headlight and the fuel
distributor (DOT lights will not fit anymore - not enough room). Of
course then you would need to find space for a cone filter of some sort.
