Actually, are we talking about the OP's picture, or m2cupcar's picture? I was talking about the black plastic thing on the compressor of THIS photo:

Which IIRC was an OEM's speed sensor. I could still be wrong on this, however.

Obviously the black thing hanging off this is the Syclone/Typhoon's #1997152 PWM Solenoid...

Rob, if I were a yank I'd be suing you for stealing my foot fetish pics and publicly humiliating me with them ;-)
No, you need something relatively soft to make a gasket. I have two multilayer steel gaskets on that, one on top, one on the bottom.
Yeah you are right, but do you have to be so mean about it? :-p It's the OEM PWM solenoid for boost control on the cummins in the dodge ram it came out of. I hope to one day use it for the same thing on my application :-)
Bracing is crucial IMO, you are going about this the right way! :-)
