Each one you add increases the bonus by 5%. Now, let's say you have an IO that gives 20% damage. If you boost it once it will not give 25%, it will give (5% of 20 = 1) 21%. You can boost an IO up to 5 times so you could eventually get the 20% up to 25% by using all 5 possible.|

the trick is you have to remember ED (Enhancement Diversification), which means that at about 90% total bonus, the amount that each new IO gives is drastically reduced. Mako, for example, gives over 90% damage with all 6 pieces. So if you boost all of them, a huge percentage of that boost is wasted by ED. On the other hand it doesn't give nearly as much accuracy or recharge, so carefully boosting those pieces will workout much better. If you need those.
Another way it helps is by letting you slot fewer IOs into a power. If you needed 5 slots before, you might be able to use 4 slots with boosts and have the same bonus applied to the power at the end. That gives you 1 more slot somewhere else.
I hope I'm not being too confusing. And if I'm wrong, lucking someone will be along to correct me and set you right. =)

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
For mako's, the best one to enhance is the acc/end/rech (and maybe the 4-way), because all of those are at 66% without enhancement. Using them on any of the IOs that enhance damage is going to be mostly a waste.
It's basically a question of whether you think you need more accuracy, endurance reduction, or recharge on that power.
Going by that page, you can make a level 30 damage IO BETTER than a non-boosted 50. That's kind of sick!
