It fell from somewhere around the front of the engine when I was removing the TBB. Text on it is:

500-076 PA 6.6 KEB

It looks like it used to have two tabs on each end but one on each end broke off.

Anyone know what its for and what it came off of?

Default Haha, I can't remember, but you're the second person to ask about that part this month

I think it's a clip related to the intercooler piping that comes into the TBB, but I can't remember for sure.

a search of the archives for "what is this part" might turn something up

Default of course

it holds the top and middle sections of the timing belt covers by your intercooler pipes.

Default Nothing really. They just pop into the timing belt covers. I suppose they keep the pipes

leading into the TBB away from the fans. I thought you had a bipipe anyway.
