I just noticed this today but coming perpendicular off the intake, towards the engine there is this metal piece(actually it was all one piece but it snapped off) that is around 3 or 4 inches long and then it has a plug in and is connected to the harness. I just saw it today...there are 2 passages inside of it that run into the intake. I just wanted to know what it was for. Sorry i don't have a pic of it and hopefully you know what im talking about. Its like the highest thing up, which is probably why its broke!

Oh, since im posting something anyways. Does anyone have an extra one of those metal tubes that comes off the turbo? I believe its the first one there is right alongside the engine heading back up towards the stock SMIC. I could always just go get some pipe and put it in there but i figured there would be someone on here that didn't need it anymore and i won't need it for a few days so why not ask.

I think i answered my own first question. I believe its the AAC valve. What about the 2nd part?

the AAC valve should be a gold colour, and the item that sticks out is a switch for the extra drain from the aircon when it activates so the engine doesn't stall.
