WTF is this?
i am new to the turbo motors and i just got my new turboII motor in and i am getting all the parts together and i noticed on the back of the manifold there is something missing. anyone know what it is and what it does?
also on my downpipe it looks like someone used some sort of stuff that you would make your own gasket out of. i have searched and i cant find anything about it, anyone know what it is called and where i can find some?

Actually, he still has the thermowax. It just doesn't have coolant running through it, so the cam will not move when the car warms up. The part that gets threaded in is the thermo-valve that feeds vacuum to the actuator for the outer set of secondary throttle plates. Since he's probably had the TB mod done, this valve is also gone.

I was talking with a Permatex rep recently and learned that Hondabond is actually permatex ultra grey relabeled Hondabond. That is why some honda dealers might just sell you ultra grey.
But if you were to use silicone on the exhaust, it would be better to use the copper high temp rtv on exhausts. Although getting the real exhaust gasket will be better.
The ultra black is best used in parts with lots of oil
