It's a solenoid on the side of the VE inj pump which advances the timing a bit when the engine is cold. I don't know what the letters KSB stand for, probably something in German. It's controlled by a sensor in the intake manifold I think.

KSB is short for KaltStartBeschleiniger (I think Alec dug that up that fun fact).

In English that's "Cold Starting Aid" or words to that effect.
