What the hell is sticking on the end of the turbine? Is this turbo part of some crazy volvo sequential setup?

That's a thought, but from some of the other pics it looks like that valve thing actually closes off the turbine outlet. Odd. Its one way to limit the power of your volvo. Those swedish cars are hellafast.
No wait, it is to increase engine braking, a safety feature only found on some higher end european volvos.
