Unfortunately no. The reason is tricky and gets by a lot of people too, including me when I first read the card.

Servomotor S-Foils is a dual card, meaning it doesn't take effect until you place your ship during the setup phase; this lets you choose the side of the card that's faceup at the start of the game. Normal cards like Engine Upgrade take effect immediately on equip, so a K-Fighter with Vaksai and Engine Upgrade could equip Autothrusters. However, a T-65 equipping S-Foils doesn't gain boost until the setup phase, because it's a dual card, and by the time you're placing your ship on the table and it's too late to add cards.

So equipping autothrusters is still the T-70's domain.
