Post lindsey boost enhancer?

New owner. Is this as good as they say? Does it cause excessive wear to the engine/turbo? Any help would be appreciated.

I have one installed my on 951. It works great I have it set at 15psi.
Stock setting is at 10psi. so you can adjust.
I think if you can get a used one off ebay your in luck otherwise you have to buy one new from Lindsey Racing.
Sometimes one goes up for auction on ebay for $50.
The LBE just delays the signal to the wastegate from opening up too early.
BTW did you just purchase your turbo that was advertised on the Advertiser Ads recently?
I'm also located in Honolulu maybe I'll see you around.

Aloha

I had a boost enhancer for a year ago and it worked great, then i bought a new wastegate and I sold the boost enhancer. Now to my question, can I use both a boost enhancer, wastegate, chip and boostcontroller? Or will the boost be unstable?

the performance of the pneumatic check valve depends on the condition of your wastegate. But you will notice a differce either way. ( unless your diaphragm is punctured and you're making 23lbs of boost)

Linz, I have a Lindsey boost enhancer that I'm selling. It was only used for 3 months. I replaced it w/ a manual boost controller and dual port wastegate. If you're interested, let me know via email. SSLOU68@AOL.com

Works great on mine with autothority chips. I just turned mine down to to 13 psi or so to increase the safety margin. It's easy to adjust.

I have one for sale that I will let go for $50 US. I installed a Greddy Profec B electronic boost controller to replace the Lindsey unit. E-Mail me if you are interested in the LBE.
