i dont think it is because one end of the pipe that comes from it goes to the vacuum pump and then throgh the valve to the back of the injector pump. i think it more likely to be an overboost valve to shut off the extra fuel that is injected during boost as sugested by modified toy.

ok thanks

it bolts to the alloy pipe but is not connected to it in any way.

As you will probably know there ...
