Question Need Help. Building up my motor (lots of pics included to aid you)

First off I'l post a pic of the car...just because it was clean and I love the cs exhaust look lol



So its been nice out recently and I've been frantically working to get my motor ready to run. I have run into a few problems so i figured i'd take pics and maybe you guys could help me out

ok here we go

Where abouts do these grounds go on the motor?






I thought all S4 turbo's used the same hot side and center cartridges, but apparently the one i bought off of somebody uses a diff size banjo bolt. is this normal to have to diff cartridges between the same turbo?

also

the numbers on the exhaust housings are different, my original turbo is



while my other one is



hmmmmmm.

Also, My knock sensor broke so i got another one, but i dont seem to have the plug on my wiring harness. All i have is 2 wires. Does anyone know where they go in the scheme of things on the knock sensor, or if they even go there?



THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME!

The one with the two smaller wires go ont op of the engine - either under the bolt that holds the hard pipe rats nest or the intercooler bracket.

The large one goes down near the starter, on the upper starter bolt or the bell housing bolt above that.

The knock sensor is ignored above 4kRPM, so it won't save your engine if you detonate hard.  The knock system is there to prevent mild pinging from bad gasoline.

You can pull the knock sensor and the knock box.
