from looking at hydroboost setups there will be quite a bit of making and modifying the brake lines, and im not sure if our calipers will be able to handle the extra pressure that the hydroboost setups produce.

I have upgraded calipers allready. When I was in high school a guy who rebuilt my 3rd T5 for me had an 85 he raced and it had a hydroboost on it. I dont know how he did it I know he did.

i think the hydroboost just replaces the brake booster and then you have to run hydraulic hoses from the hydroboost to the powersteering pump i think thats about it
