Re: what could this part be? (hatchboy13)
It's an FMU, a Fuel Management Unit. It's used on boosted applications. It is designed to raise fuel pressure, as the pressure in your intake manifold increases due to the boost from the turbo/supercharger. They have different fuel ratios. 8:1, 10:1, 12:1 etc... For example if you have a 10:1 FMU, it increases fuel pressure by 10psi for each pound of boost. 12:1 is pretty much the standard though.
