Yes, I don't recall a knob on there. You sure you don't have a MBC?

I think you're thinking of the air filter on the pressure exchange solenoid.

There's no knob. The pressure exchange solenoid has a black cylindrical air filter on one of its nipples, as shown in the picture at the top of the page I linked to.

Hmm, okay, I'm interested in seeing it. Maybe a previous owner put a manual boost controller on.

To me that looks the same as the top picture on the page I linked to. That black cylinder is the air filter. The brown thingie is the pressure exchange solenoid. The boost control solenoid is the thing underneath, that has the black and pink wires going to it.

You can turn it if you want... it won't do anything. If it's cold it might snap, actually... :)

what he's saying is the knob that you're turning is the air filter.
