Well I can't help ya then, must be a turbo specific wire, which is strange...
The only black connector my car has anywhere near there is the small roundish shaped one coming off the trailing coil connected to a yellow/blue wire.. obviously not the same one.
Any chance of getting a picture of this wire/connector?

Remove the alternator, drain the coolant, unscrew the sensor, screw in the replacement sensor, refill the coolant (don't forget to bleed the air out), replace the alternator and your're done.
