The blue pipes are boost pipes which controls your boost. The box you had in your hand looks to me a Turbo timer!

Hope this helps

Ah, i have wondered that too. i have that on my car, but it has a hose and then *what looks like a big one way valve* which has HKS stamped on it. and it just dangles in the engine. the other ends not connected to anything.... Can i remove it and just blank off that same pipe at the top picture?
regards.
