It's just a billet alumnum piece that sits on top of your throttle body that prevents your map sensor from seeing boost. Because our engines our used to only working in a vaccum, when they see positive manifold pressure, the ecu freaks out and throws a code because it thinks something is wrong. The missing link will allow the map sensor to only see vaccum by bleeding off the positive pressure created by the turbo via a one way check valve where air can only go one way.

Project T-25 D16Y8 is using one for his setup, he has a pretty good picture of how it looks under management. I will give you an idea of what it is.

is there a "homemade" way around this?

would a missing link meant for a D16 fit a D15b7?
