Seeing as it's a prototype, I might just cut Proton some slack. Where I won't cut slack is when they show half-baked concepts such as the Satria Neo & Saga concept range which hardly had anything tweaked apart from some 3rd party mods, aerokit and new paintjobs. bolo:

Even the radiator comes straight from the road car. The chasis looks quite old and tired, more like what you may see in a racing driving school. But this should also make it low cost option for single seater racing, like formula ford or formula renault. There's no turbo. you can clearly see the exhaust pipe goes straight to the back( thick black pipe above the transaxle ). Very crude installation of engine in a single seater.

Like IsaacVky deciphered it, it is indeed the intake manifold with electronic throttle sans the air box & filter. Don't simply go bursting out with what you think it is just because it kinda looks like a turbo due to the fact that it is silver and is curved like a turbocharger.

Hey, why don't they fit in one of those in the persona or waja? just a suggestion though, must be a hit if they make it a production car. Yeap! i think that’s the turbo kid!
