Sounds like a little CDI box. Other Japanese tuning companies make ones that just sit on the +12 V battery circuit to smooth out voltage flow to all engine electronics. I bet those two boxes are one of each.

Luckily modern COP setups don't really need an additional boost unless you are running crazy amounts of boost. Evo X guys are seeing benefit coil upgrades and CDI amplifiers at around 30 psi of boost or so. But that's common for these little 4-banger turbo powerplants.
