The first pic appears to be the connector for your maf sensor. The second appears to be a vacuum connector to the egr system. If your car is running ok I wouldn't sweat it but if it is not then unless you know exactly what the person who put the cold air intake on your car did you are going to have a heck of a time figuring out what is wrong. I bought a focus that someone who clearly had no automotive knowledge and they screwed it up so bad with filters and a jack leg cold air intake that I ripped it all out and went to stock.
 
The second is definitely a BCS. The first looks like it could be part of a cruise control unit. Did the car have "cc" originally?
 
Thank you for all the replies so far :)

I bought the car totally stock. Only thing it had was an aftermarket boost gauge and neon lights in the car (replaced all of that crap). You know what since I bought the car 3 years ago I haven't used of even tried the cruise control. It should be the orignal. I'll take a closer look at the part and see if there's any numbers on it.

Right now I'm having boost issues and it's coming from my Jpipe, I can't get the damn thing sealed properly onto the EVO316G turbo :cry: . It just keeps leaking when I do the boost test.
 
Maybe the J-pipe flange isnt sealing properly? ie it isnt completley flat?

DSo you have a gasket under there or gasket maker/rtv or both??

It leaks underneith and from the screw holes, I can't get a washer in because the holes are to close to the pipe from the top.

I tried using

Only the evo3 gasket (leaks)
Evo3 gasket with RTV (leaks)
Gasket came with the Jpipe (its worse)
Gasket came with the Jpipe with RTV (its worse)

I ordered a brand new evo3 gasket, how do I stop the leaks from the screw holes?
