I am still guessing some kind of "top secret" bypass valve to replace the funky stock butterfly plate. The excess boost from coming off teh throttle gets "dumped" back into the intake. The little tube really looks like a vac line maybe tee'd off the FPR ala Andy's VGS mod.
Well any one with a better guess?:smile:

It is not an available product and was produced on a one-off custom basis for our own testing purposes.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Well, all I can say is that I went to Forge headquarters only yesterday and got chatting with the staff there. I even got the manager out to have a chat about MINI parts. We got talking about the thingy in the picture...
It was a failed attempt at fitting a blow off valve, not a temp sensor location. It didn't work because of the presence of a stock bypass valve they told me. This was from the manager of the whole operation and one of his mechanics. Forge is a UK based company based in my home town btw (Gloucester) :smile:
I got one of those intake hoses as well as some silicon hosing for the VGS mod. I can't wait to see the results
Cheers,
Henry
