As I was cleaning my RB intake, (see this thread) I noticed some things that I have no clue what it's for. So, for those more mechanically inclined than I,

what the heck is this:


This seemingly useless plastic piece connects to the right side of the accordion intake tube. I've tried blowing in the hole but it seems sealed and the air goes nowhere.



Also, not related to the intake, what the heck are these 2 thingamajiggers for?

 

I recall reading somewhere the 1st is just a resonator. 3rd I believe is ABS system. Cant visualise the 2nd one.

 

Lookd like the Air control Valve for the Air Pump

 

awesome, seems to make sense to me, thanks!

 

i remember the 2nd one is the termostat

 

thats what i was thinking.

 

dude, thats the turbo! put it back!

 

is that the turbo that we all got from the Group Buy?? lol

 

Dude, its stock turbo! didnt you know our cars are stock turbocharged??

 

Oh... I have an add-on turbo, didnt have the money to opt the turbo when I purchased the 8!! lol

 

The first one reduces intake noice by reverberating the pulse back upon itself.

the second one looks like the air pump control.


Third is the abs pump.
