That is what i thought but my Boost gauge take off is from the manifold.
I don`t think it is anything important as car runs fine but i would like to know what the previous owner has done something like this for.
It used to be a track car in japan suposedly and had some weird gadgets on it when i got it.

That blocked off pipe should run to your air inlet manifold. On top of your manifold and it's the centre pipe where it should fit too. Not too sure what it does TBH but that's where it should go to
Just noticed it's on a Y piece....if the other pipe goes to your manifold then don't worry about the other blocked off pipe. Maybe there was a boost controller fitted and it's been removed at some point before sale.
