New to me car...trying to identify aftermarket parts...

Hey everyone, just got my Evo X about a month ago, and just the yesterday I changed the oil and put a new set of plugs in it.

While I was working on it, I looked it over real well to see any mods I could find.

It has Injen Hardpipes and an intake with a shroud...

but it also has what I believe is a boost control solenoid? The factory ones are open to the atmosphere and one of them is unplugged.

This one has three ports all with vac lines attached.

Can anyone identify a brand or anything? I apologize for the noob question. I'm an older Mitsu and BMW guy...lol

At this point I am assuming the car has some sort of tuner on it. I need to hook a boost gauge up so I can at least see what its running at.

Thanks in advance.

Ok. I'm still learning the Evo X stuff, so, I'm hoping the PO tuned it with it and didn't just put that on.

Just wanted to chip in its prolly not safe to assume. I'm actually going through the same situation as well. I bought a used evo from Carmax and found out it had a Cobb ebcs in it with a goldenevo.com tune on it. Everything else was stock.
