I bought a 95 tsi awd and there are some parts lying around in the engine bay and I dont know what they go to. Im knew to the 4G63 so I need some help.

1st piece is this wire coming out from under the fuse box with a pigtail to plug into something but I dont see what it plugs into or what it is for. It was just there dangling.

2nd piece is a wire with a hook and two nipples on it where it looks like hoses should hook up to. I dont know where it connects or what its for either.

3rd piece heres a pic of my intake and it only has to nipples on it and one is capped the other goes to the valve cover and I dont see anywhere to recirculate the bov too. Do I need a new intake to recirculate? And what hose gose to the nipple that is capped?

For the first one with the length and look of the plug I would say it goes to the tranny, find where all the missing plugs need to go and its just a process of elimination. Not sure about #2. The HKS SSQ BOV has a big tube to recirc. it, so you will either need to custom fab a large nipple, or get an intake pipe that has a large intake nipple for recirculating instead of those small little nipples.I would put that T-Belt cover back on.

The second one is the BCS (boost controling sylenoid) and as long as you have a boost controller. This can stay how it is.
I think the capped nipple on the intake is for a line that runs between the BCS and the Intake. (not positive on this)

Your car needs to be recirculated. I would either fab up something, or pick up another intake tube with a recirculation area on it.

EDIT: You NEED a timing belt cover. The last thing you want is for a rock or a screw to cause you to have to rebuild your head.
A lower heat shield would be wise as well.
 
the hose that is capped off on the intake goes to the evap canister. the reason the electronic boost contoller is disconnected is most likely because there was a manual boost control installed.
 
Alright thanks for the help guys. I dont see anything that is missing that the first plug goes into. It comes out from under the fuse box and has the pigtail connector on it. Does anyone else know what this goes to? In pic 1
 
The first plug appears to be your reverse light signal, it looks just like mine!
the second, as stated, is the BCS, it is the stock "boost controller", the third, the capped hose, is in stock form, the blow by pressure from the valve cover. It should be capped.
It is odd, but you should have a recirculation hole for your BOV, as for the plug, look on top of your tranny, there should be a little rounded square that is orange, it has to pronges coming out of it. try to plug that onto those plugs, thats your reverese lights!
or have someone turn on all of the lights, put it in reverse, and see if your little white lights come on, if not- then thast definitaly the problem!
