Random Piece on Turbo
Hello I got a evo 9 turbo used recently and I was looking at it and I saw like a red cap in between the hotside and the coldside can anyone tell me what this is?? Sorry for the low quality pic I had to snap it before rushing off to work

It looks like a plastic plug someone put in there to keep junk from getting inside the turbo during storage or shipping.

No it's for the water line, the oil feed looks to be still on there. And yes you need to remove the plastic cap.
