Question Accuboost vs. Lindsey Boost enhancer?

OK,
I have the Authority II Stage II chips with the jetted bolt.

I am going to buy a Lindsey Boost Enhancer or a accuboost and ditch the jet in the bolt.

I think that a Lindsey Boost Enhancer would out preform the jet'd bolt, but the Accuboost seems to accomplish the same thing and act as a boost controler?

I only have experience with the LBE so I can't comment on the accuboost, but if you're interested I'll sell my LBE for $50. Worked great, just moved up to a different boost controller and bypassed the CV.

I have used both and I do prefer the Accuboost it's much easier to adjust than the LBE.

I was told Authority chips work best with the BJ bolt. I put one on & 2 days later put everything back.
Do a search. LBE seemed to hit boost faster, better response.

Had both. No difference in performance. Accuboost easier to adjust as said.

I like the LBE too. I have a stock CV system with 3 bar fpr and a cone filter. I am not looking to up the boost just pull 13-15 PSI quicker than with the banjo bolt. My car will hit .95-1 BAR with my foot in it.

I think the LBE is probably better for what I am trying to do.
Later I plan on installing a EBC ect....

Do you thank a LBE is a waste of money. Should I just stick with the banjo bolt. I like the accuboost too. Just wondering how you set it. I have done some reading about both?

Of all the crap that I have bought for my car in the past this was the best purchase so far.
Truth, the line from the banjo bolt fitting to the metal pipe to CV was dry rotted. There by I relaced that too, but damn what a difference with the accuboost. I have yet to even reach WOT and I plenty of boost. Seem/feels like I don't have to use near as much throttle to get the preformance that I desire. Good waste of money!
