Just looks like a cap someone made to vent to atmosphere. To do that you remove hose. Keep the recirc valve open and cap the bottom inlet. The other end of where the hose went. Thats just a cap that was clamped on. They get pretty oily and nasty after a few months and rapidly deteriorate from oil and temperature changes. I used silicone caps when i had it done. And actually that is a chair foot cap that can be bought at home depot as its the perfect fit. They work but crack quickly like the one you took a pic of
Yaycandy that, " CAP " went to the, " INTAKE " side of turbo!

See the diameter of it ? Good size! Only thing on that car that size is the turbos inlet/ outlets

The input hose was just dangling in the wind by motor with some oily residue film in it. Not too much but some.

So "Riddle" me this. How is that second left rear turbo work now with capped input. and house dangling?

Yea bet if some one call you something like lazy or whatever, doesn't know you're circumstances without simple quistions and speculations. And your car wasn't around.
Net you wouldn't keep your mouth shut either!
Bet I'd take into consideration that these are people donating their time and knowledge to help others and I wouldn't expect them to take pictures of their own car to solve issues with my car that dont even fully understand to expedite my agenda circumstances or not. That's the equivalent of asking a random person at a gas station to crawl under your car and figure out your problem for you.

And whats worse is you coarsely disagree with no ground to do so about things you know little to nothing about and belittle people with far more knowledge and experience than you and then claim personal issues as a scapegoat of which no one is judging you by. Simple fact is we cant help you if you wont help yourself.

This isn't a jeep forum and we don't want the negativity, so if you want to be constructive and accept your own limitations as well as the fact that a forum can only help you so much then we'd be glad to help, otherwise ask Google, it won't call you lazy unless you ask it to.

And yes, I'd love to be a moderator but I think the current ones do just fine.

If that car is traveling 250 miles a day, there is no way that turbo is not piped properly.

Again, when the car is back in your proximity, take 10 minutes and take some photos of the areas you think you saw the problem. Until them calm yourself, these folks have been trying to help given the lack of information you provided.

Otherwise good luck with the car...if you keep up the attitude, you won't get any more responses.

@dshultz07 PLEASE.... forget name brands of oil and who likes what brand names and marketing, its about one thing only - standards - set by the oil industry and testing the BEST grade of oil for Ecoboost engines. This is covered, speed to the 3:38 min mark - Explanation - 3 Years old, however relevant today.

Forget names, but if its valvoline, lucas, roylal purple - whatever - it needs to meet the specs to protect the GDI engines specifically. SN+ rated oil as explained - whatever brand since well standards mean just that each vendor has to meet that standard. You can argue different vendors add more detergents then others, however in the end change your oil regularly with SN+ oil and well you will provide the most protection you can.

SN+ exceeds the SP he speaks about from 3+ years ago

I switch up. Not for brand names but for GF6. Royal purple has a new GF6A+ or whatever they call it. GF6 was a newer oil made to take out some minerals in 2018 that were the cause of LSPI

I would never consider any SHO for a delivery vehicle and most certainly not a gen 4. I'm also amazed that you are asking people to get under their vehicles to take pictures for you.
