Re: Low vacuum for brakes

I got the hydroboost installed yesterday. It fits in the same space as the vacuum booster with little modification. The lines on the donor van were way too short so I had new ones built. The pedal was too high so I adjusted that. The thing works great. I drove it on the street in front of my house to test it. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks for all the input. Next, on to paint, hopefully.

Yes I have used it on my turbo and procharged cars with no issue. It stores your vacuum for you so you can brake. Yes if you are road racing it will not be for you. But for a car for the street it works well. You can spend a ton of money on a hydro or vac pump setup if you have the money and yes they work well.
