What is this?

I'm looking at getting an EVO and the one I'm looking at has the Greddy Turbo timer and this Greddy Profec Type S. What is this used for? I'm sorry for my dumb questions.

Appreciate it. I've owned S/C cars so, boost control was by how much throttle percentage you applied.

I remember friends telling me the EVO engine can't take more than 22-23psi w/o head studs. Is this true?

make sure you get the solenoid and pressure sensor (if equipped/i think) with the boost controller.

Yes, it is!! I saw it on Autotrader...

Thank you for that bro!! Saved me a 6hr trip. I was going to trade in my X-Runner for this Evo. It's beautiful in the pics, but that doesnt say **** about its mechanics.
