4AGE st - what's the plug??
Quick question, what is the 20V "OSV" plug??

Below is a pic of it, it's the one that sits at the front left hand side of the 4AGE 20v cylinder head. (in front wheel drive format)

From google it looks like it's the "oil control valve" for the vvt, but I thought the ST's didn't have that?? (highly likely I'm wrong lol)

Also, does anyone know what voltage it runs at? And is it safe to pump 12v throu it? Or is it ghey and must be 5v or something??

Cheers

both 20v have OCV/OSV (Oil Control Valve / Oil solenoid Valve)
And I think it work with +5V.

Yes, you're wrong. It's the VVT actuator. Silvertops do have it. But by watchin your pic, I see you've got toda pulleys on both cams!? So your VVT is disabled and you don't need that valve

maybe a bit offtopic,

and why would you get rit off the vvt actuators? by replacing them by adjustable cam pullys.. makes no sence to me!
and doesnt the ECU giving problems without?

If you have cams bigger than a certain type, VVT can no longer be engaged.
