Ok this is my turbo on my 90 Acura Integra. I was wondering what is the hose coming off of the turbo with the screw in the end is and what it does.





Thanks

Instead of finding the right sized plug to plug the vacum source on that compressor cover someone used a 90deg brass fitting with a hose and a secrew on it to plug it.

Go to the hardware store and look for a 1/8th" npt brass plug.

 

is that bad or does it make a difference?

 

That's the boost controller, turn it clockwise for more boost!

 

Its not bad as long as its not leaking air from there..

twisted it like tony said.

 

You can use that port for the boost signal to the wastegate or electronic boost controller, or you can get a 1/8 NPT plug as stated above. Nothing wrong with the screw and hose per se, but if it falls off for whatever reason, you'd be leaking boost.
