I am almost done my 2.3T swap and now I have a question. There is a threaded opening on the inlet side of the turbo (not on the turbo itself, but on the piece that would attach to piping from the VAM. What is supposed to go in there? Is it a place for a sensor to mount or can I just plug it with a 3/8 - 1/4" pipe plug?

sounds like breather inlet, I think it's a tee fitting that goes to the breather and the boost controller for an atmospheric reference if I remember right.

don't have a pic, but mine's a 3 way tee, one going to the boost controller (has like a .060" orifice in that port if memory serves), one goes to the high pressure side (don't know why, that's how it was when I got it), the other goes to the breather
