Great, I see it! On our car, that's used for mounting the massive a/c
compressor bracket. We do intend to retain the a/c (black car), but it
must be possible to co-opt the boss for the knock sensor, and still
mount the compressor somehow.

Looks interesting too, sounds like this is a replacement for the urq
ignition system rather than controlling boost pressure directly?
