Well. I wouldn't have thought that Automatic Stability Control with
Traction control
would have made a difference... But the pictures look different - different
bend.
Maybe there's an extra electronics box in the engine compartment for ASC+T
that requires things in different places?

After the MAF, there is a 'servo' with an extra cable to back off the
throttle for you if you've got the back end a bit 'out of shape'. This
probably explains the different 'rubber boots' for the 2 model versions.
If the OP has a button near the gear lever marked ASC or ASC&T, then go for
that particular 'boot'.

Thanks, I do have the asc button on near the shift lever, so I ordered
that boot, thanks!
