You have an s5 rpm sensing rack, and that's what you need to replace it with. Look it up in the computer as an 89+ so that you get the right rack. The three port is a speed sensing system for the s4 cars.

You have one power steering system versus the other. Its quite simple... you cannot simply plug one of the ports and expect it to work. The three port system has two pressure lines and a return line. The twin port is only one pressure line and a return.
