Default Heater shroud block off?

Do they make such a thing? It would sure make it a lot easier for me to fab up a new intake pipe..... I found a heater duct block off by Fab Speed but its two pieces and it dosent look like it replaces the duct. Pay no attention to the little red arrow.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

How would you supply air to the l/h heat exchanger?

Ok I found one to the tune of $138.
On a side note, if you're ever looking for this part don't use it's parts catalog name "hot air socket".

Weight savings!
Glad you found what you needed.
How about a picture of your Garrett install?

Besides the exhaust, intake pipe, oil catch and the wrong sized motor mounts this (pictured) has been the biggest PIA. Can you tell what it is?

Yup.
That's the hot side sitting on the header flange with a custom bracket holding everything up.
One thing you could do after you solve all of the big problems is to make a smaller turbo oil catch tank. I have a GSF one with an 8 oz. capacity. I wanted to reduce the size but after my car is parked, I get 7 oz. in it.
The ball bearing turbos don't use as much oil so the catch tank could be smaller.

I will have to look into another catch can no doubt. Know of any good kits?
