on the intake side of a throttle body?
I got one off of fleabay and there's a hole about 5/16 thread through the body near the end where the boot would go. It has obviously been added later.
Any clues?

Most Nitrous nozzles are 1/8" NPT.

How about a boost reference port for a gauge?

sounds more likely. nitrous is usually done on the maf side of the TB so you don't have to drill into metal, just into poly.

Actually most of the Nitrous nozzles I have seen and used are 1/16npt which is very very close to 5/16nf. Its kinda a pain because 1/16npt taps are not something you just run to the hardware store and purchase.
