It looks to me like its your egr valve. If thats what your talking about in your picture. Kinda looks like a 1g bov from the top but has 2 vacuum hose fittings

Hmm i thought the egr valve had a huge tube running too it. At least thats what i thought they did, on all the engines ive worked on they have a big rubber tube. Just to be sure this is the device that is bolted onto the intake mani and looks to work with the vacuum and boost somehow?? it has a wire coming off of it with a connector.

EGR valve. The tube you're probably used to seeing is cast into the intake manifold. The exhaust flows from the cylinder closest to the transmission, through the head, up to the IM, into that valve, and up to just after the throttle body.
