Name that connector!

I've been cleaning up/checking out an imported s5 t2 engine I received and can't for the life of me recall what this connector is. I can't find it in the FSM either. JDM motor and harness and it's behind the alternator, sitting just above the turbo oil feed line, in front of the throttle body.

I think it connects on the back of the water pump housing.

its not connected to the harness. Its connected to a sensor that is on the water pump housing.

its not the watertemp sensor for the ecu, so what does it do for the cars that actually have this sensor?

I am not exactly sure to tell you the truth but both of my 91 TIIs have that sensor. One fc is a JDM one and the other one is UK euro spec. It looked like a temp sensor if i remember well last time i removed it to check. I do not think my 87 TII that was a US spec had this when i was a student in the US.

I think that temp sensor turns on the front factory electric fan than is on the AC condenser when it reaches a certain temperature.
