thats the intake air temp sensor (IAT). your stocker doesnt have it there because they changed the maf to include this with it, so there's just 1 set of wires. the newer GTs (not sure of the year) shouldnt have that hole there.

That explains why my Straight Shot came with a little plastic plug that I couldn't figure out what to do with. My 01 HAS the sensor, so I didn't need to plug it. I thought I did something wrong cause I had leftover parts.
