Vacuum brake setup with brake pedal

This booster and master cylinder will screw in place of the powermonster setup. I replaced the PM on my GN after my last accumulator failed. The brakes feel much better now. You also have to replace the brake pedal.

Used vacuum brake booster, used master cylinder and brake pedal. $150. OR
Used vacuum brake booster, rebuilt never used master and brake pedal. $180.
plus shipping.
Paypal OK
Thanks.

I recently replace my old system and the new system works great. I have found that you need to put a clamp on the air filter coming off the vacuum line because if you dont, it will blow off under boost at times leaving you with a hard brake pedal.

well turbo Bill, I will tell you that a little more boost than that, your hose will be off and will leave you with no brakes. Seriously man, you better get a clamp on there. It may not blow off at 21. I have a thread in the Tech Section discussing some boost problems and boost has shot past 25 rolling into the throttle about 3/4 WOT. I have been babying the car since having the boost problem.
