its the amal valve, its the ecu's way of controlling your boost, it allows higher boost in the mid range and then to drop it off higher up etc, you dont want to just get rid off it unless your going to replace it with something else. just make a bracket up and locate it there or move it somewhere else

also you can just remove the pipe going to the airbox (you won't be needeing it once the cone filter is fitted)
