Buying the Tech2 or buying the lines, valve, and master cylinder and the labor of gathering and installing. Sounds like it wouldn't be money wasted since it even holds its value if you wanted to sell it.

If the Tech2 was $250 its close enough I'd call it a draw. $350 or more, what then?

A new aftermarket prop valve is $125 or under. A donor 88-92 prop valve is <$10. Brake lines? Re-use what you can or snag some parts off wrecking yard donors. After that? You're done. Ever have an issue w/the master cylinder failing in the future? Replace it & bleed the brakes like any non-ABS hydraulic system. No need for the computer access.

*EDIT*
I've only had 3 vehicles new enough to utilize a scanner (my old '93 x-DPS Mustang, my old '90 model OBS, & it's replacement Spot).
All my stuff has been older carb'd rides.
