So I bought a 2007 GTI and it had already had some mods. But upon further investigation the mods are not what I would call "standard" or "ideal". Specifically, the front mount intercooler pipe appears to be a home welding project that protrudes into the fog lamp cover area. So much so that the fog lamp covers aren't screwed in!

Then while doing an oil change I noticed some missing tubing/pipe that sits near the intercooler pipes.

So my first question, anyone have any recommendations on intercooler pipe to replace this shitty weld hack job?! Would a pipe like this be what I'm looking for to deal with my intercooler pipe and the open port in the image above?

And what exactly is that open port?! Doing some YouTube watching and think I found out what that is, is it the port(s) for the original intercooler?! Is it ok to just run with the front mount intercooler or should I be tying the two together?!
Thanks,
Jerry
