Default Booster question

Hey guys,

I'm having a shop do a t5 conversion for me in the next couple of weeks. I figured while I have it in the shop, I'd have them put in a brake booster and proportioning valve.

I have discs in the front and drums in the back. And to be honest I have to slam on the brakes to get her to stop.

Here are the parts I was going to buy. Will these work for my set up?

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have manual brakes and want to convert to power?

I currently have manual brakes. I was under the impression that the booster would aid the manual brakes.

How involved is it to add a booster? Would I have to have them swap out the pedal etc...?

Thanks

You'll have to either replace the MC to p/valve brake lines or you might be able to bend them to fit.

How tough is it to do this conversion? How many hours would it take a shop?
