Looking for a hydroboost. Can be a hot air unit or aftermarket. Let me know what you've got.
Here’s the link:HydraTech has what you need
I'm considering their kit but it's about 1200 bucks. Seeing if I can track down a hot air hydroboost or a used kit. There is a guy on ebay who sells a nice hydroboost for 600 bucks, just got to buy a mater cylinder and hoses. It'll work with stock hot air hoses which can got for cheapHere’s the link:

I’d stay away from the hot air set up if you can. The newer Bosch units are current (not 30+ years old) & feature an accumulator on the side that hold enough pressure for 2 applications of the brakes (in the unlikely event you have a power steering failure .
Spend the money this is one area you do not want to compromise your safety !
Hey Kwik, that's a bad ass set up you got, looks awesome (although I prefer the powermaster setup). I also agreed with you buying new and from one vendor, makes life a lot easier. But if you put in the work in, you can sometimes achieve the same results spending a lot less $$, that being said....If it were me, I’d buy it all from one place , it will be plug n play & don’t have to run around grabbing things here & there .
That’s what I did .
HydraTech gets my vote .
Turbo, I just saw someone selling a Hydroboost on facebook for $500, you might want to check it out. I'm not vouching for the seller, I don't know him from Adam, so do your own due diligence.I'm considering their kit but it's about 1200 bucks.

Yeah get me his number if you can. I messaged him last night asking for a current Pic of it but never heard backThe guy on FB Izaac Nelson is a good guy! I have his car right now. Doing some upgrades. He just bought it with Hydroboost installed. So he is selling his other unit which is brand new for $500 it’s the unit from eBay that the guys sells for $600 plus. It’s brand new and can be used with the braided line kit or stock 84 lines. If you are interested in it let me know I can give you his number he’s in Jersey.
Like already mentioned in the 2nd post…. Contact HydraTech, they have a complete hose kit availableGot one coming from tricksix's buddy with a pump rebuilt and upgraded for hydroboost. Just need to fugure out what I'm going to do about hoses. Thanks for everyone's help
I wish I'd seen your post earlier. I have a brand new Hydro boost conversion kit part# KPP7619 from Kirban performance that I decided not to use. Still not cheap but could have saved you a few hundred bucks from the original price.Looking for a hydroboost. Can be a hot air unit or aftermarket. Let me know what you've got.
I will definitely be buying this. ThanksAdd a PSC PS Fluid reservoir designed for HydroBoost & you will be all set!
These even have a built in filter!
Newer hydroboost have a built in accumulator that holds a couple extra brake pumps if your engine dies.Maybe someone will chime in but I wanted to ask the guys using a HB system what do you do for brakes if the motor dies while you’re driving? It happened to me a couple weekends ago driving 90mph down the highway my iccc fuse popped and I had no brakes, luckily the road was empty but if this happened in traffic I would’ve been screwed. TIA
