Just looks like a different wastegate acutator. Does the same thing as a boost controller IMHO.

Correct, although I feel it would react more quickly and accurately than a boost controller. They are not the 5th and 6th port actuators like some people think. It clearly states they are for turbo applications. The reason they should 2 in the picture is because some of the cars it has an application for are twin turbo.

id assume the kit is for fcs due to the 89-91 model year and "fc"...but the 13b-rew threw me off a bit......

Fricken things are a waste of time.
All is does is jack up your base boost.
A boost controller does that and allows you to change the boost level too!
I guess HKS is still making really stupid products.
