As above,
It looks like some sort of air cooler for the turbo and is looking abit taty
Can i just take it off? or is it worth keeping and repairing?
Cheers

I was of the impression that you want the turbo to be hot, as the hotter the exhaust gasses, the faster they flow, hence why people use turbo blankets, and wrap headers etc. Having a cold air supply to it will have the opposite effect.

There's the idle control valve pipe, which needs to be connected to the intake somehow, the induction kits usually have a connection for this on the replacement pipe.
The smaller boost control solenoid pipe that connects under the box can be vented to atmosphere.
