What all is needed for that Hydro-Boost setup that you're doing? Your thread made it look like it takes no space at all.

I purchased a complete kit from Hydratech Braking Systems. It's a bolt-in installation. The only other thing I need is some AN adapter fittings off my steering rack. They supply all the lines and hardware. Not cheap by any means, but I know it will work and I have their tech support available for questions/support. The unit itself is very small compared to a vacuum booster. It also eliminates the stock prop valve.

I may have to look into that. I loath the idea of having to shoe-horn a booster into the 86. What provied the assist in the hydroboost? Is there an additional pump?

Well i got mine to fit with elongated holes and patience. No beating the strut tower brace. But whatever.

No, works in conjunction with your stock power steering system. They provide lines for everything to work. It creates somewhat of a loop system between the pump, hydroboost unit, and steering rack. Prepare to shell out about $800 for the full kit though. It's probably a lot cheaper to source together a system from a new edge stang, but that requires brake pedal linkage modifications, which didn't look like fun. The hydratech setup is designed specifically for the foxbody.

Well let me know what your braking power and pedal feell ends up like. It looks like that type of system would solve some problems for me, that I've been scratching my head about.

Oh... and PM me a link to the place that you got it when you get the chance.

Too late for me. I was looking to do this but just went with the 93 cobra booster. I had to bang mine in just a tiny bit but once past the strut tower it was a perfect fit.

Wow...really picking this apart waaay to much.

Honestly, he tried to do a good thing here buy if I was him I'd say "f u all" and not do it at all.

Can't believe guys are picking him apart for wanting to help out on a commonly asked topic.
