On the driver's side of the engine, there are some cast metal
channels external to the block that distribute coolant- the after run
sensor and MFTS both hang from this.

The after run sensor has two blade connectors; the MFTS has a large
booted 4-pin connector.

If the car makes full boost, don't bother- the same signal goes to
both the climate control head and the ECU, and if it is sending a
false overheat signal, you'll get about 1.2-1.3 bar displayed and no
more, unless you've modified the wastegate.
