Default Trouble finding a mate for this plug

I'm trying to get my supercharger back in to my discovery. I have one electrical connection I can't find a place to play in. See picture.

The offending connector

The connector in center

Exactly, see pic below


It is probably for other uses/configurations.
They use a connector hawk to close it and protect it from the environment.

You can see it here on mine but it has a little christmas tree clip that if i remember correctly just popped into a hole at the back of the SC to keep it out of the way.

It went back together very smoothly. System held 15psi without a problem. The whole thing took about 20hrs. The rear crossover pipe was the most challenging portion. Hard to maneuver wrenches back there. I used aftermarket aluminum replacements for both front and rear. The front lower pressed in well. The front upper had some fitment issues with regard to bolt-hole alignment and hose alignment. Overall not bad. Glad I did it. Thanks for the help.
