Default Whats this??

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me what thsi is please? I have also found what looks like a tap with 2 pipes coming of it in the subaru tool role, its the same colour as this so am thinking it is something to do with it?
Cheers, Deano.

not quite that simple unless you want very little boost.

You need to make sure there is a small restrictor pill in the bit of pipe that goes on the turbo nipple side of the T piece.

If you haven't got an issue with the car I'd leave it well alone!
