Hydro Boost set up

[SupremeSpeed]

Hello guys I'm going the hydro boost route and I need help finding the right unit for my G body Cutlass. I know there are newer models but not sure if the are compatible. If you guys would help get me in the right direction, that would be awesome. Currently looking to buying a new one from eBay, although I know ppl get them Astro Vans also. I not sure what fab if any needs to be done to mate the parts together.

Nice thing about the turbo regal one is that you can use their brake pedal with it and not worry about the cutting/welding/rigging up and the geometry and pedal travel is automatically correct.

Being 84-85 it should use a compatable sensor on the pedal for the dash harness as well, although the sensor you'd need to confirm.

I do know that when I sell vacuum conversions they need to swap the pedal too, bracket and all, but don't remember off the top of my head what all the differences were. Plenty of used pedals around from tr guys who switched to vacuum though. Just don't get anything 86-87 which was powermaster, its a different animal.

For my k10 truck, I ordered a kit from hydratech braking systems. It was pretty damn complete, you may want to give them a call.

Just like the vintage air kit, love how it cleans up the firewall.

Have a complete used hydro boost set up from a 84 t-type I believe

Actually the pedal from the the late 85-87 turbo cars with a power master are the same as the hydroboost pedal.
