Looks like a DIY blocked off piece of vacuum hose. Most commonly found on the second barb on the standard wastegate actuator, but it could be from anywhere.

yeh that could be from anywhere engine bay related.

you need to have a good look around.

its most likely a vac/boost plug, so look around turbo, manifold area.

Do you have a manual boost controller fitted by chance?
