BGRA alternative?
BGRA alternative? Does anyone have a write up/how to or pictures of a BGRA alternative? Something that doesn't cost ~250$ for a few pieces of plastic? I've heard of things you can put together that'll do the same thing, but I just have no info 
Thanks!
Thanks!
It was worth it for me. Again, not everyone wants to spend that kind of money. It was a nice kit and installed very easy. It definitely works because my LT fuel trims will change by +5.

ive used the baffles in the hood to make a fairly good, but not perfect as of yet, seal to the air box. when i get time i would like to finish it up but school has been busy so it has kept me from finishing. i move a lot of air at WOT, my map values went up and now i am staying pretty steady at about 99-100 kpa where before i was about 96 (tahts what it was with the rain blocker in that i made

What did you do to the core support? Did you have to drill holes in it, in order to make you custom plate fit? Are you sealing the front of your airbox? If so what are you using to seal it?

i used some weather stripping.
i gained 1 mph and 1 tenth in the quarter. but at the same tim of adding my ram air i re installed all my A/C and a 6 point mild steel bolt in cage. So i added about 120 lbs, the drag of having the a/c belt and still went quicker and faster.
Oh yeah these results were going from the fast toys ram air to my ram air.

ook somewhere in there i wasnt thinking about that one, i was thinking you wanted something, not necesarily using the hood. yeah i cut the baffles out and then trimed the one strait long piece to make it fit between the hood and the box and i used a rubber gasket to connect it to the hood. for the bolts i have it held in by, i made 3 that were long and took a piece of black sheet metal and made it where if it was raining i could put that in so i wouldnt get any rain in the filter. it seals up pretty well to the box right now. if i can get my camera to work out ill put up some pics but i havent gotten it to connect in a while. there is a small gap but its a lot more effective than just being wide open in there. in the future i want to make a piece that will fit just right as well and seal the front part of the ram air hood up to the rest so it wont get turbulant in there.

yeah sheet metal and a rubber weather strip for a gasket. the stuff i got was from work and they use it in air compressor that will see the extremes of temp, prob double or tripple what it would on our cars

Ok, the advantage of the BG ram kit is it makes a nice smooth passageway for the air to move and looks really nice. But if your goal is only to seal the hood opening to the airbox, a few years ago, people use to just buy weather stripping and seal it to the hood after de-baffling the passage way. Doesn't look as nice but I'm sure it did some good. ND4SPD use to sell to his friends a cheap alternative, you might try pm'ing him if he still does it.
Doing a forum search found a wealth of info (only 3 pages turned up using Ws6 hood seal as the search terms which isn't too much to go through)
