I was interested in the same question.
Does what looks like a **** at the left end of the map sensor do anything, is it an adjuster. If so when would you use it?

im pretty sure that is something to do with the different pressures in different parts of the world, so the boost will act/stay the same.

or something along them lines anyway

I think da one could be right, the device adjusts the boost signal given to the Map sensor. Maybe so the car runs the same boost at different altitudes???

Oh and the black **** on the end is not adjustable.
