Brake booster
Are there different sizes available? I have a 1980 and the brake booster is like 10-12" in diameter. I thought I had seen a newer pick up with a smaller booster on it. I would like to switch - I need more room for my turbo set up.
Any ideas? |

Re: Brake booster
Why not Hydroboost? That would seem like the perfect setup for a turbo'd truck.

My next suggestion would be manual brakes.

But your point about extra stopping power is a good one. I would suggest some larger diameter rotors on the front with some 4-piston calipers and an adjustable proportioning valve to set the front-to-rear bias.
