Where do you think it goes? Oil, exhaust gases, coolant?

that would be the electronic wastegate sensor, alot of people leave them plugged in after thay put a different turbo on to avoid check engine codes. ( i would reccomend zip tie it out of the way)

It would most likely be left plugged in so no codes appear.
