Unknown boost controller, help

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Ok so when I bought my 1G about a year ago it came with a boost controller that had never been used so I was like #### ya now I don't have to buy one. Well I take it out of the package and look at it and I've NEVER heard of this thing before or seen it. The brand is ARO, searched it on google and couldn't find anything. Kinda in a bind now.

I'm wondering if it made me like a home depot DIY one or some ebay one. He said he got it from DSS which is now extreme autoworks and I'm there once and week and talked to Ray the owner and showed him and said he's never seen or sold anything like that so I'm lost. I'm having some boost issues with it not holding steady and I have no boost or vacuum leaks and got a o2 dump so to see if it would hold more solid and that didn't help either. It will spike to 16psi and drop to about 12-13psi. I'm still running the stock exhaust running the stock exhaust. Here is a mod list, I don't know if it will really help or not.

-14b w/16g 7cm housing
-Ported Evo III manifold from Mach V
-Victory Performance o2 dump
-Balance shafts eliminated
-Kevlar timing belt
-ARP headstuds
-Metal headgasket
-ACT2600 clutch
-Jacks racing transmission clutch fork and fulcrum ball
-Solid shifter bushings
-Autometer boost and EGT gauge
-K&N air filter
-Walbro 190 fuel pump
-Magnecore 8.5mm spark plug wires

Seriously no one has seen or heard of this????

That looks like a propane valve..

Here you go. I would go ahead and get a real one if you are having issues.

 

[DSMDriver69]

Thats looks like some homedepot valve designed for something other than controlling turbo boost, maybe some kind of propane or other gas.

Ditch it and get a proven boost controller
