Anyone here see any resemblance with this "silencer ring"? To me, it looks like it may very well serve to guide air into the turbo compressor wheel. With it missing, it looks like the transition from the intake tube will be very rough with an entire area of dead space where the ring used to be.
Just my observation.

Has anyone here ever seen a velocity stack? They smoothe airflow into a carb or throttle body.

some HY combos have benefitted from less surge/bark by removing the sliencer, but you will not GAIN anything by installing one in a turbo that doesn't have one in it

that is not what it's designed for... it is a silencer... it is not shaped like a velocity stack.

I will throw away the velocity stack for my race car, it is obviously not what I thought it was.

sorry if I came off rude, it wasn't my intention 
you'll note that the velocity stack on your race car has a much different shape than the shallow angle on the silencer ring... it's a curved slope designed to smooth the transition into the carb... and they do make bolt on and welded on velocity stack inlets for different turbos, but this was purely designed as a silencer.

I spend over an hour and could not get my snap ring out either, took some visegrips to the silencer ring. snap ring is still there come to think of it. Looks like you slipped pretty good with the screwdriver from the pictures. I put some paper towel bunched up in a ball infront of the turbo vanes however.
