Typically known as a "grainger valve". It is a type of ball&spring manual boost controller.
Here is its internet origin:

Specifically it is a boost science, reliaboost. I have the identical controller. Back in the dy this is the controller guru racing used.

I like that idea of having a switch hooked up to WOT to turn on high boost setting. Never thought of that!

That's a roger big buddy. :-)

Try the basic MBC if you want something cheap that works well enough so long as you give it a bit of a quick clean out every now and then.

Default I have something like that ...

I might be selling this
I was thinking of listing it on Evil Bay ...
If your interested, I can give you a good deal on both???
Bought them and never used them....
The Autometer Z series gauge was bought used
I instead went with an EBC and used the ZT2 display for my boost gauge
