trouble identifying an underhood part
Near the drivers fender and in front of the brake booster, there is a tall cylindrical part with a fitting on top and a steal line running to a small motor right behind and down of it. Looks like something I would like to be able to delete.

No its mounted on the fender well directly in front of the brake booster and master cyl. Sorry no pics. but if you pop the hood on your SC4 you cant miss them.

i know exactly what your talking about , i notice it says somehting about some kind of psi reading and it was high.. i belive it has to do with your abs or tracton control to boost the pressure for qucik responce but thats my oppinon as far as what it called... idk

It's a pressure accumulator for the TRAC system if your car has it.
When wheelspin is detected, the car routes pressure from that canister to the spinning rear wheel to slow it down, while simultaneously cutting the throttle by closing the secondary throttle plate.
