Looks like some aftermarket security device. Most likely not a voltage booster, those look different and are much larger with beefy cooling fins.

here's a couple more pics, when i push the middle button the fuel pump kicks on and the blue light comes on and it stops when the fuel pump reaches full pressure, is what it sounds like, i followed the wires to behind the dash near the obd2 port but im to big to get under there and see what it goes to. i do have a P3 gauge there also but i didnt see anything on their site that looks like it.

Fuel system priming circuit? You have aftermarket fuel pumps in the tank that maybe don't have a check valve in them so they bleed down if car sits there for awhile?

I like this guess.

What do LED's do when car is running?

I'll guess:
White is "Ignition on"
Green is "pump energized"

Blue is test button.


This look like it might be a custom module. A PCB kit with a semi-custom mounting box.

Just out of curiosity, what would the benefit of this type of modification be? My car is stock, but I'm definitely trying to learn more about cars since most shadetree mechanic stuff I've done is limited to basic mechanical and maintenance (brakes, oil, O2 sensors, etc )

Looks like a low side pump controller for an Aux pump setup. Crawl under the car and check to see if the fuel tank has been tapped.

Sir, you are correct see picture. Fuel tank is tapped and seeping fuel.
one of the wires goes to the DSX sensor as well (it was hard to trace).
So what we be the need for this? there is already one in the tank plus the high pressure pump. (I dont like seeing my tank tapped like that cuz its a spot for future failure, gas leak. next step is to see where the fuel line taps in?

I saw a youtube video on how to tap and install in fuel tank and they put some kind of sealer around the fitting, does anyone know what sealer you would put around a fuel tank tap? i need to reseal it and i dont want to use JB weld but i cant think of what would be best?

DSX and the green goo

Drill-n-tap through what is not more than 1 to 1-1/2 threads thick curved bit of fuel tank seems like a bad idea to me. Any flex at all and it'll try to open itself up.

If that's DSX standard procedure (I saw the video with the green goo), then the green goo should be included in the DSX kit. Yep, there it is. Might be this one but there is no picture, so you might want to give them a call (314) 396-7333 to confirm as well as ask them for advice on how to address the leak (be it just with sealant, or if they have some other solution).
