So a level 50 damage IO boosted 5 times would be equivalent to the straight Damage enhancement from a purple set? |

It becomes and IO that gives you +25% more enhancement on each of its stats. (Every booster increases the enhancement by +5%.) So a level 50 Recharge IO, which normally gives +42.5% recharge boost, becomes a 50+5, and grants +53.0% recharge. |
Interesting.

Correct. And a purple damage boosted five times increases over 13%. Kind of mind-boggling.

yup. It also means that you can perma Hasten at 180% global recharge using only 2 slots, instead of needing 3 
Hasten with 180% global rech, 3 slotted. and no booster = 118.7s recharge
Hasten with 180% global rech, 2 slotted. and both IOs boosted x5 = 119.7s recharge = 1 free slot 
In the case of my Widow's build which has 176.25% global rech, boosting the 3 recharge IOs in Hasten meant I didn't have to find another Purple set

If you respec and keep the enhancers on the same character, they stay at the boosted level as I understand it. If you want to move them to another character you have to destroy the booster. the source I got that from said it is an unproven technology, i.e., do not boost purps and be sure you can move them later. When you respec you can tray the things, but cannot move them off the character. So, ALT build is possible. Thats what I have figured so far. I could be wrong on all of it.
PS, thanks for the mids help. I guess I'll take it as a win that no matter how I cram +s onto the build it has almost no effect.
