FASTSS454 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Anyone running a hydro boost unit on their Monte, if so what brand did you buy and do you like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I am running hydro boost. I love the way it works I have a lot of cam and not much vacuum. I picked up mine from Hydratech brakes. Hydratech braking systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTSS454 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks for the reply, I have the same problem with limited vacuum, so how did you plumb the returns? Did you add a nipple to the reservoir or use a tee? Did you do a write up thread on the install here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 what size master cylinder piston do you have? I have limited vacuum on the Velle and improved it a bunch by simply going to a smaller piston..fyi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I can send you a couple pictures if you like. I ran a hard return line part of the way, and a tee at the power steering return line. Dave's way may be less expensive. I did not want to deal with booster clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTSS454 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Right now I have manual brakes with a 1 inch master cylinder. They work fine but I have been toying with the idea of adding a hydro boost unit to it. Mike I checked your pictures at your cardomain site and saw how you did the tee looks good and if it worked for you it should work for me. Hey nice Monte by the way.
