The second picture has the horns mounted under it. You can see the tack welds from the nut plate on the top.

Ah, I do remember those were mounted there before I yanked them out, lol.

So i routed hose up through that open space to the maf from the front bumper.

Thinking about doing the same.

My car has tons of various studs throughout the engine bay that have rubber caps on them. I put extra/ leftover nuts on them.

S2 and Turbo bodies were made to be either or. Then from the lot of bodies, they were picked by either the turbo line or S2 line. Thus explaining some turbos having the S2 ICM mount, and my S2 having mounting points for turbo items (heating shield by brake booster to be specific).

The plate itself does not hold anything up. The horns mounted beneath it are mounted on the L bracket that drops down.

I found that, when I work on my car, its a good place to rest a beer.

I meant, tools and parts, etc.. you get the point.
