It's part of the EGR system used on late pintos, in the UK you'll only find it on transits but in europe they had it a lot earlyer than we did due to tighter emmisions regs over there.
In the UK the sierra and granada went to the twincam in 89(ish) where as the transit used the pinto till 92 (ish) by which time the emmisions regs had tightened up and the old pinto needed the EGR to pass where as the twincam didn't.
That pic is of a Euro spec pinto (LHD) .

Ah alright thanks for the quick response bortaf! Do you know if it could be removed for lets say a turbo conversion or is this EGR necessary to be there for the engine to run correct?  |

Ive used an EGR pinto in older fords before with it removed but it was from a cat equiped car so i used a non cat ECU (cos i had one) so cant say 100% most cars run fine with the EGR blocked off? |
