I believe that's the radiator cap (one of them) for the coolant system, which is used to cool the intercoolers. You can check the level in the main coolant tank (passenger side, closer to the front).

hello saintz and thanks for your reply...

did you mean it is a separate cooling system for turbos or it is connected to vehicle's main cooling system (if so, why would they put another cap under the cover?)...
