it was a whitish clear hose line that looks about the same as the ones they give you when you install like an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. i just cut it off so it wasnt in my way since it didnt go to anything. there is no wires.

Boost fitting. Unscrew it and find a fastener that will screw in, in its place.

I put my boost gauge fitting there (if that's on the intake!).
