Not sure!? Let's all pitch in a dollar, order one and see!
I think it must be some kind of "pressure reservoir" or something to hold the boost pressure...

I think it is a <b>mechanical</b> device, not an electronic device.

It's a manual boost controller...
Basically it is a splitter off of the wastegate soleniod that is controlled by a t-valve. It allows pressure to bypass the wastegate and gives you full boost all the time. It is a very basic design and you could make one yourself for under $15.
I would not use this type of mechanism because it allows full boost all the time, and if you don't have a fuel pressure regulaor it will cause over-detonation, thus failure of your engine. If you already have a chip, avoid this device. If you want to control the boost maunally, then I suggest an electronic boost controller like the HKS EVC IV.
I have modded many turbo engines, and the one mentioned above is not the way to go.

I have no interest in this product or manual boost control. I put my trust in GIAC/PES to do that.
I was just wondering what the heck this company is trying to sell.
