its the speedo sensor cable. if its not being used, after the conversion you may have gone to cable clocks? if so, snip it off and send it to me

Why would you have a wire going to a turbo?

because it fell down and trapped between the lever going into the gear box, and the side of the gearbox. so this is why it affected the gears
ed - my turbo is special, its called a TTP* turbo

that thing it got stuck on is where it plugs into, its the speedo sender . If the speedo is cable driven it is located right next to the gear linkage on the gearbox. I think thats right anyway..so removing it might cause problems.. but then again it might have just got stuck there like you said..

it defo got stuck where i said, and it wasnt near the speedo sender thing, it was just a loose wire, as the electric clocks dont work on that gear box.
