S4 turbo engine without knock sensor?

Im doing a TII swap right now, i just finished puting my TII motor in the GXL.
But, i just saw that i have no knock sensor on the "Suposed TII motor", and no knock box in the passenger kick panel.
First, the knock sensor is located over the rear rotor Upper spark plug right?


Is it possible that i have a rebuilt TII motor with NA rotor housing? In that case, where ppl usualy locate the knock sensor on the engine?

The knock sensor is a hex shaped sensor. ON s4 cars it is at the base of the oil filler neck, mounted into the INT iron,on the front side adjacent to the front rotorhousing, where it says 13b. ON the s5, it is on the front rotor housing above the T plughole.

s4 cars use the knock control box in the kick panel, s5 cars have no knock box, it is integrated into the ecu.

Throw that piece of junk away.
It gets ignored over 4,000RPM anyways.
