Does the above meaning apply to "boost" in your text? If it does, I would translate it as "empuje"

I´ve also found it as "reforzador" o "refuerzo"

Babylon.com translates it as "aceleración"

Hope this helps! :)

'amplificador'


Explanation:
'Booster', in motor-language, is a device intended to improve, or modify the received input, and deliver a different [improved] output, normally with the same fuel or power consumption. This is very common in 'turbocharged' or 'turbofeeded' engine systems.
Luck!
