Looks like it could be an aftermarket external waste gate for a turbo charger.

The garish anodised colour made me think along the same lines as John ... "Boy racer parts" so yes, dump valve
The thing that goes "fssssshhhh!!!" when they change gear at high revs
stick it on eBay, it costs over £500

Its been discarded as it stopped making the noise then. In the old days of E-Bay one could just post a picture of an unknown object and set your starting bid and see what happened. Not sure you could sell a broken thing these days. Mind you there are people out there who would dismantle, say a perfectly working bit of gear and sell all the bits separately as that would raise more money. Brian

Ah, that sounds like the same ideology as when CB was big you could put a little light that flashed on top of your aerial. Completely pointless and did not work in the UK as everything used FM not AM, so if it glowed at all it was o the whole time your ptt was down. Also of course removing some of the transmitted power in the process.

Apparently there is something simular already fitted on my Golf R, only works in race or individual mode selection.

There is something similar fitter on any turbo engine - although usually not anodized in a garish colour or designed to make lots of noise!

Not all. Some have variable geometry turbos and control the air delivery by varying the turbo guide vanes. No wastegate is needed for those. They are particularly common on diesels.
