The hydro booster or any booster mc combo with careful planning and design will get the job done. the small packaging of the hd seems to be a better option for those with ac cars. All must realize this idea of keeping the orig pedal ant its ratio is the limiting factor. I ask again: what is the need to keep it!?


Not sure I understand the question on the need to keep the original but I believe the only reason most have tried keeping anything is to maintain the stock look of the car. Unfortunately none of the present options anyone has tried seems to be able to accommodate that wish with any great finesse..

Any of the replacement units other than maybe the ElectroBoost require a ratio change which means modifying the pedal in some very obvious way or moving the power unit somewhere higher into plain sight from the original out of the way location under the column. On the AC cars you don't even have the option of moving the booster to the firewall.
