Title: Can someone explain this to me?
Post by: vwmk3jon on May 05, 2010, 01:18:44 pm

Found this on ebay whilst scouting about. According to the auction, its needed if doing a m45 conversion but i have no idea what it is!!!

it's essentially what the boost return valve on a g40 does.  Perhaps needed for an m45 conversion on some engines but a g40 already has a boost return valve.
