Ok, It seems like alot of guys are or have switched to a "normal" vacuum brake setup on the turbo cars. If this system works so well why didn't GM use it in the first place?
Also I've heard you can't hold any boost when racing with the vacuum system. Is this true? If it's not true then how much boost will the system hold when racing?
My Power Monster (second one) seems to be running too often (Means I have a leak) and I can push the petal to the floor with out too much of a problem. If I pump the petal at a light three or four times the brake light comes on. I'm assuming my system is going to the dogs in the near future and after installing a power monster only 2 years ago I'm seriously considering going to the vacuum setup.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each system?
