Re: How hard is it to hook up hydroboost brakes?

Its pretty easy to put in place, the only difficult parts are; making custom lines (if you don't want to adapt a stock style line), and fine tuning the relationship with the steering/brakes/engine.

The thing I've seen the most is issues related to the sensitivity of the steering. Its correctable, but identifying the exact problem is the tricky part. When you start combining different types of hydraulic fluid pumps and orifices, its hard to know what "correct" feels like...if that makes any sense.

Also, its worth telling your tuner that you'll be running HB, as there is a much higher static load on the engine and you can actually stall yourself out from the drag in the correct situation (deceleration from an off ramp, or turning while braking are the two where I see it happen). Easily fixable, but annoying and scary the first time it happens.
