housings help??
Hey guys, I'm rebuilding an s5 motor and need to replace the front housing. it has a sensor right above the spark plugs. My friend gave me some housings but i think they are off a s4 because neither have the hole for this sensor. Am i able to just run the s4 housing and not worry about this sensor? i don't know what the sensor is. I'll try and post pics just to illustrate what i mean. oh and all are off TII motors
thanks guys.
1st pic is of old front housing
2 is the rear that has threaded spot above the plugs also
3 the new housings which have no threaded spot
4 is the front rotor, just so everyone can cringe at the sight of it

Thats the knock sensor hole your are talking about. I suppose you can leave it out, just that your engine will not know when it is knocking and won't retard the timing if it is....
I have never seen housing in person, but if it has enough material I would assume you can drill a hole and tap threads for the knock sensor if you wanted to....

thanks guys, i'd rather find a s5 housing then, rather than drill and tap a housing. anyone who has one wants to pm me 
and i obviously need a rotor too

The housings designed with the knock sensor hole have extra metal. You'd drill into the water passage on those other housings.
