As was mentioned, first picture is the turbo temperature sensor, 930 606 118 00. Lindsey racing has them for $37.
Not sure about the hose. Edit: It's a vent for the timing cover and aparently goes to the airbox. Some people cap this off; when I looked at mine that's what the PO had done. Not sure why the timing needs to be vented, it's not exactly airtight anyway.
The bottom plug is the "codes plug" and is normally unplugged. I believe there's some way to use it for diagnosis of DME issues.

with regards to the belt cover breather hose, i have just removed the hose and fitted a 25mm oil breather filter which cost a mighty £4. porsche deleted this hose on the later models, so i guess not really important but i thought to avoid s--t getting in there i'd better cover it.
