35D. What is this on the turbo?
EDIT: This is on a 35d.
Preparing to delete and I saw this was not attached. I reattached it, but does anyone know its purpose? VGT? I did not notice any boost issues prior to finding it, and still notice nothing strange now that it is connected. |

Interesting - apart from swinging away from attached point, does the circled arm move (up/down) or is it fixed position once it is reattached? I wonder if it is some sort of bracket or stabilizing arm.

the diesel doesnt have a wastegate like a gasser does, but it is the same location as the wastegate for gassers so thats why I wonder if its for VGT. I just find it strange if it is VGT then why did I not experience boost issues up to this point? I def did not drive like a grandma lol |

Not exactly the same, but kinda like in the history of removing intake swirl flaps no one has yet to spot a difference of altering a /supposedly/ performance system. |
