UFO looking thing?

You mean the oil pressure sending unit? ..ooh wait there's no hose that comes out of that.

I think you mean the VDI "valve opener thingy?" IT uses air pump pressure to open the VDI @ 5.5k.

well it's round, and has a hose connecting to the tube where you can put oil.
I'm gonna buy a new one, and then let a mechanic put my intake back!
I'm not touching anything in there anymore!!
thanks
