?????????
Only 2000+ engines have the intercooler sensor (MAP sensor). You shouldnt have one.

No, 2000+ intercoolers have the map sensor, and pre 2000 does not. So it makes sense that the IC from the 01 that you got would have it, yet you have no wire to plug into it with. Just leave the sensor in there and dont worry about it.

Yup, just dont take the sensor out of the IC or it will leak boost.

Yeah it should hook up to your intercooler piping on the bottom/front of the car, and also to the throtle body hose. Thats all you should have to worry about.
