That's for the EGT if you are running one. I just plugged mine up.Furtermore that top mount manifold looks like the same I bought of Ebay for 80 dollars and it cracked after about 200 miles, the workmanship looks great but the material is s**t. I hope you won't have the same problem, I had to go with a cast iron manifold from Treadstone for $300.

i purchased it from borg warner along with my turbo

I didnt think Borg Warner made manifolds. Id be weary. Hate to get you down but you should spend the money on a nice mild steel manifold. There alot thicker, stronger, and doesnt expand with heat. Your gonna find that stainless manifold to get hot, expand, and crack very quickly from the weight of the turbo being on top.
