A pic would help, but kinda sounds like the ACT sensor.
Is it on the right side of the pipe (called the charge carrier)?

Just found this pic on your profile, not sure on that one to be honest, unless it was for a guage or something, does it look like something should plug into it?

I'm sure someone else will come along and let you know...

Water injection nozzle with possibly a one way valve still hanging on it.
