Looks like they punched a hole in it to relocate the MAP sensor from the front to the back.

Mine was new and I have the MAP sensor located at the back where its originally designed to go.





The MAP sensor normally goes in the back as seen below. Do you have this part in the back ? I have heard of the C6 guys cutting the back off of the Fast92's because it hit there firewall.

That's for the map relocation kit. Some say under heavy engine torque, the map sensor can make contact and either get damaged or become loose.

Yes, appears it was bought used. Did the previous owner have an f-body or a Vette?

That is what I did with mine, relocated it in the front to avoid that. No issues by moving it up front.
