Hey all. I've been wondering exactly what is supposed to be in the area in-front of the driver side strut tower, right next to the ignition coil? I've been trying to look at pictures, and in manuals, but can't figure out what is supposed to be there. Here's a few pictures to clarify what I'm talking about.

A far away view.

A closer view of the bracket that holds something....

A different angle.

Again any help would be great. Thanks.

Ok! Fixed the images, at least on my screen they are there. Note that in the last picture you can see an electrical connector that has nothing to hook to.

Oh OK. Something for the turbo mounts there. Since I have a N/A I won't worry about it anymore. Appreciate it.

On the 84/85 NAs, nothing goes there. On the 84/85 turbos, an injector cooling fan goes there. Most people throw them out. On the 86-89 models, the air induction valve controls go there.
