Exhaust Back Pressure Valve. It's on the outlet of the turbine and closes to warm the engine in cold weather.

no performance difference except when the motor is cold....then the valve wont close robbing you of performance...

You may have to remove the intake tube that goes from the air filter to the turbo. The plug is bolted to the inlet of the compressor housing. It is a two wire plug.
