I just talked with a BMW owner who did a Ford v8 transplant and had to let the booster go, he then installed a power steering pump hydraulic booster, and says it's incredible.

We use one 100 and on 10 mico filter in Norway, but Race E85 does not have all the addhesive as pump E85, so it`s less sluggish.

It depends on the quality on the pipes.

I have bought and used alot of pipes from Fittings of norway, i belive they are selling Fragola pipes.

Noah..that's called a hydroboost system down here in the lower 48. Used on lots of trucks, like Ford F350's (1 ton and larger)..gets rid of the vacuum booster but has a lot more piping involved. .02 cents Thanks.

damn, some issues with belt slipping. need to figure out some tricks as SC kit is made for car with AC. have some ideas what to test next... Seems that it takes longer than planned what is common when doing new stuff..
