Post by: 92EcoDiesel Jetta on August 08, 2011, 12:32:31 pm

That is the downpipe brace, it goes from the bottom side of the exhaust manifold to just above the flex (AAZ) or toilet bowl (1.6TD)

That piece goes right behind the intake manifold. It goes under the two nuts that hold on the neck of the intake.

BYM is right on the money. And the purpose of that piece is  solely for supporting  the turbo oil feed line.
