two newbie questions

well it's been a decade but I'm back, the SA22s are long gone and I'm now the shell shocked owner of a suspiciously cheap 1997 FD3S

anyway onto the questions. Regarding the turbo control system, Wikipedia says that for the series 7 the system was "simplified". When people on here post up the "simplified vacuum system" diagram, is this actually the stock series 7 diagram? Or is it a modification done to the earlier series cars to make it more simple? In other words, should I pay the "simplified" diagram any attention?

Second question, at the front left of the engine (as you look into the bay) at the very bottom of the front case there's some broken wires or cut wires left sticking out the side. Looks like 4 wires, two black, a red and a yellow. I can't see where they should be connected to. Is there a sensor or actuator or something down there? Should I be worried?
​​​​
​​​​Oh and bonus question, what body kit is this?

Congratulations on the suspiciously cheap FD!

I am sure a few FD owners are super familiar with the wiring unless it was replaced, upgraded or added too.

When you have the time, some pics would be great.

Right in the centre of the photo there, bit of a mess sorry

also wondering what style intake this is? (Aside from "ugly and in need of new filters")
