really big heat sink? that thing is hella crazy
|
External wastegate much?

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. |
I used to work on turbo diesels w/ Engine brakes, I don't ever remember turbine housings like that (non-Volvo though).

Is it out of a diisel? If so its probably used to brake the engine.
