So I converted to vacuum brakes. I didn't want issues braking while under boost so decided to put in one of the SSBC/comp cams vacuum pump in it. Absolutely the worst vibrating noisy pos I've ever owned. So, as I was contemplating hydro boost I saw a few newer volvos that had a pump attached to their boosters. So I did some research and they are for factory turbo cars and some n/a cars for cold days to assist with vacuum. So is nagged a few at the boneyard for $7 a piece! Bench tested them and they are insanely quiet and instant vacuum. So I decided to use two of them for very quick pump down and if one shits the bed I have a back up plan..lol..
With it all hooked up I turned they key and about 8 seconds full vacuum was had....and absolutely couldn't hear a thing or feel any vibrations. Everything was had for less than $50 and I couldn't be happier. I may add an extra vacuum canister for extra capacity but want it hidden away for sure.
