mine doesnt have one. do you have the early turbo? the intake spider that has the intake heater will only fit with the later 3 inch plenums and turbo.... ford might have just thrown in the early airbox.

Do your up-pipes connect to the turbine housing with a V-Band clamp or is it the bolt on flange?

thats an intake heater all right, i see you have the second relay to confirm it. i bet you have a late 99 motor.... check your turbo to see if its a late 99 style.
