just some odd German engineering, maybe this IHI turbo w/ the mini muffler was the way to fix the k03's low rev boost spikes that occur on the reg with the FSi motor.

this is the IHI k03 turbo and mani thats in my TSi Gti look at the awkward shaped muffler coldside sits next to the wastegate chk out these pics lol (gota find some excuses to post here)
