Well it turns out Ecosse haven't fitted an air temp sensor. If 99% of all other companies feel the need to fit one then why don't Ecosse? If they were such an unimportant sensor then why would all TB and ECU kits come with an air temp sensor?
The green and white wire at the bottom of the picture is the one that should be connected to the temp sensor and it's not connected to anything.
Put it this way every standard car uses an air temp sensor so the ECU can adjust the fuelling to account for the decrease in air density with increased air temperature. For every 10 degree increase in temperature a 3% reduction in fuel is needed as warm air is less dense than cool air. Without any correction this will mean the car is running richer than is ideal in warm weather.
Will be interesting to see how the car performs on an MOT emissions test.

What am I doing with those wires out? I'm looking to see if the wire that would go to an air temp sensor is actually connected to anything. Those loose unused wires are normally bundled together in insulation tape. I've just removed the tape.

The Omex just runs the engine. The original ECU is kept as it controls everything else from the dimmer on the interior light to the speedo.
You sure yours has been removed?

What made you think in the first place that they hadn't connected the wires?

I couldn't find the temp sensor anywhere so I went looking for confirmation by checking the wiring. I got the manual from the OMEX website to check what each wire did on the connector block.

You would have thought they could have insulated the connectors, and put better wire covering, ie OEM
That is for the price you paid 
But then again, installing TB's isnt brain surgery, as the OMEX should supply a copy of how to install, so technically you could do everything apart from the mapping
