This is what it should look like, the end cylinder is missing on yours.
All to do with controlling the boost.

Its the pressure exchange solenoid, the OEM ecu also takes a reference snapshot of the ambient air pressure, as well as the manifold pressure.

Its not the boost solenoid, that's the chunky one below it, you'll need a new one as it seems from the pic that the atmospheric spur is bunged, and AFAIK the bit that's missing will have a little non return valve in it to stop any boost pressure leaking out and giving the MAP sensor a false reading if any air was being bled.
