HydroBoost again

The fire cooked my booster, so i thought i may as well convert as it is likely a new bullet is in the cards and vacuum will be questionable. Lots of threads on the subject but many are junk yard conversions. So Cal is limited on junk yards and most key parts are gone within hours. So I need to pay for a kit. I see ebay kits in the 225 range up to close to a grand. I find most of the higher price kits are often nothing more than a name embossed on the same parts in the lesser priced kits. Has anyone had success with these ebay kits? Can you share if any firewall mods were needed. I don't need feedback on the pv valve. Just the over all kits. I would like to stay under 350 not including the hoses and fittings. Thanks for help

Re: HydroBoost again

I used Hydratech hydro boost system. Not cheap but worked perfect.

Re: HydroBoost again

Try Summit Racing. Not always the cheapest. But fast shipping and you'll not beat their support or customer service. I bought a costly CCP kit and their customer service was great when I had an issue and didn't get any service from CCP. I think they were advertising another kit at the time. It was less expensive and the feedback from that company was great. But it hadn't been proven out yet. This was a couple years ago now. So the second one is probably available now.

Used Hydratech. Quality part but three months to get. Bolted right on in my 71 C10.
Had a serpentine system from Concept One and had to change out the mini power steering pump and reservoir for a larger remote one.
Huge improvement in braking power.
