Default What is this part called?

I am at a loss. I parted out a C5 a while ago and I have some parts lying around and am finally getting around to either throwing them out or listing them dirt cheap on eBay to clean out the garage.

What the heck is this thing? If I tip it on it's side I'm 90% sure power steering fluid comes out (based on smell and color).

It doesn't have any clear part numbers, just a series of serial numbers that I have searched for and come up short.

Any ideas?

Long time lurker first time poster. I have a 1986 C4 and am about to pull the trigger on a 2009 Z06.

That's an ABS Brake Pressure Modulation Valve (BPMV or Pump) and EBCM. Depending on what year car it's from, cars options, and whether or not it works, you might have a pretty pricey piece sitting there.

*edit* That's what I get for typing tired. That looks VERY much like a 4th Gen F-Body unit. Three channel at that.
