Cable intake manifold where does it go?



I do not know where this cable goes. I am talking about the slightly damaged one on the right with the red and yellow cables. I really appreciate any help. I put a new throttle body in and put everything back together but could not plug this cable back in. Now I have a base model because the turbo on my 2012 mini cooper s with an n18 engine is not working....

That looks like the connector for the PCV heater. IM me your VIN and I'll look it up on the schematic.

Is the yellow wire possibly a yellowed white wire? If so, it may be the intake VANOS solenoid connector.
The wastegate valve, thrust air control valve, engine breather heater 1, oil pressure control valve, and MAP thermostat also have a 2-wire connector with an orange wire and a white wire.

Knowing what fault codes are thrown would also likely help you identify the connector.
