metel plate or similar sticking through hose
hi all
looking under the bonnet on my bug eye sti i have noticed what seems to be a peice of metal stick through a 3-4 inch hose coming from the turbo. i spoke to my mateand he said it could be a blade from the turbo but it looksquite thick and solid. not had a chance to touch it yet as was too hot. it seems to be a triangular shape and looks at least 10 mm thick. wondered if it was a bracket or somthing similar. also figured this would make me lose boost.
help please
jay

i maybe wrong but i think they make it like that so when your putting the hose back onto the intercooler you can put a bar or long screwdriver behind the metal bit that sticks out the pipe to help push the pipe back on the intercooler.
