Anyone know what this thing is, or how to know if it is adjusted properly?

That's about close as the camera that I am currently using can focus to it (it was like, 2-3 inches away). It is, in fact, directly in front of the diagnostic port. Although the actual picture is from my 87 924S, my 89 951S has the exact same thing.

And so, somewhere in eastern PA, sarcasm died a quiet, and lonely death.

Some sort of vacuum regulator for the vapor cannister. I have no idea how it is adjusted and don't recall anything about it in the factory manual but never specifically looked. I would be curious myself and this question comes up alot with no good answer other than "leave it alone".

Wild Man, you were quietly shot down. Back up some from what you are taking the picture of. No one can tell what we are looking at as you took too close a picture of the object and nothing else around it.

Cheers,
Larry

Better question... can all this crap be removed and how much weight would it save?

can it be? yes. all the valves, vacuum lines, carbon canister
how much weight? not much...maybe 5-10 pounds?

is it emissions legal to do so? no
is it emissions legal to have it not function properly? ....prob no also
