It's the port for the rudimentary fault flasher that Porsche had.

Don't even start to think it may be useful as it isn't ;)

Its the (crude) diagnostic port on a turbo (not sure about other cars) and if you short out the correct pins it allows you to set the idle correctly.


Too slow.
 
Press the "image" button to get these

Like this: (but without the spaces either end obviously)

Actually if you ever want to adjust the idle speed it is very useful. You need to short pins A and C to defeat the operation of the idle stabilisation valve ISV before you adjust the speed screw on the throttle body.
