Yep that's it - it's the cylindrical bit under all the wires and connectors should have Denso on the label.
From memory there's two narrow bore pipes that come off it and feed back to the engine. I removed the bracket to help me remove the pipes. To clean you need some sort of solvent - most folk use aerosol brake cleaner as it evaporates quickly. Remember to check engine oil level - I never fill mine over the hlfway point on the dipstick between the full and empty marks.

But to be honest m8, i'd take it back to where you had the clutch done and demand that they fix it, or report them to trading standards.

You're london based you must be near one of the decent Subaru garages - they'd charge you £50 for this as long as you tell them what needs doing - drop half a litre of oil from the sump and clean out the boost solenoid and two pipes.
I've now spent longer typing replies to you than it would take to sort this.

Three other things;
1) I had to clean the solenoid and pipes a couple of times before the problem was resolved.
2) Might be worth you learning how to change the oil/filter, it's not difficult and one of the more important jobs to get right.
3) I've had my STi v3 for 8 years now and it's never gone wrong, these cars are very reliable, don't be swayed by the odd horror story on here.
