Interesting picture under the bonnet

[RichieD]

Was sunday afternoon, i thought me and my mate could start running the wiring through the car for install, popped the bonnet open to look for the hole where i could run the power cable down and came across this.

Im just interested in what it could of been, at first i joked about how it could of been NOS but im thinking that it could of actually been that. Any ideas of what else it could of been? Cheers

isnt that where the big red button normally is on a sax? the fuel cut off thingey?

plus with nitrous theres nothing that looks like that :)

It is an ecotec widget. Get rid of it! Either that or take out the filter (pointy bit) and stick a bolt in there.

could be an ecotek type thing but it isnt actually the ecotek ive got one and its a hell of a lot bigger than that (dont ask why i have one ok :p )

[hesslevtr]

nothing todo with nos

looks like a switch of some sort has it got wires going to it if so trace them and see where it leeds to

[Dan]

Dont think its an ecotek valve.

It looks like a three-way splitter used to tap in to a pipeline.
Apparently the red thing coming from the bottom seems to be a pipe which was cut and the end melted to seal it up.

it might jsut be a t-peice for a vacume guage

[mehmeh]

It seems to be directly above the grommet that goes through the bulkhead so I would expect whatever it was, was connected to something in the inside of the car. As such, a vacume guage may not be unreasonable.
