that's a strange place, not cheap either as that extra piece would have had to be welded on wouldnt it?

Thats why its been moved to avoid the sensors - and lights on the dash.

Get rid and get forge 007p on there!!

from looking at the picture im saying that maybe its been threaded into the pipe then if that is the case then once unfastened a plug with the right pitch of thread could be threaded into the boss on the pipework which effectively blanks off the opening

As above its the pipe from Turbo to Intercooler. That is a strange place to put the d/v as its the hot side of the turbo and intercooler plus there is already a position for it which is blanked off??  :huh:

the location it is in is where your standard one would connect
the standard one is mounted to the right where the blank plug is
and a pipe links back to where it is now
