anyone got pics of theirs? looking to add power brakes, and want to do it this way instead of the big and bulky ugly way.

Do you guys hide the actual unit and master cylinder or what? Pics would be perfect.

umm, your question is a little misleading...you say u want to add powersteering but a hydroboost is for power brakes...dont have any pics of this setup but officer farva had a hydroboost setup in the blazerado if you can find pics of that

Sorry I dont have pics of my setup. But it came stock on my 89 Chev crewcab dually. The power steering pump 2 return lines. 1 from the hydro boost the other from the steering box. I would think that you could "T" the return lines together. They work really well. My only complaint is that when my power steering pump went out I had no brakes pulling the trailer. Hope this helps a little

I plan on pulling one out of another car, not buying one. I believe Astros had them. I will probably look for it in one of those as they are pretty common in the yards here.

I know s10 guys use the astro stuff because it bolts on, but I will mention some older BMW 5 series had a hydroboost system, and best of all the clutch master mounts inside the firewall. I am going to use the whole pedal assembly on my s10, solves two problems at once.

Hmm...that could be an option as well. Do all of them run through the power steering pump, or no? My truck doesn't have power steering....thats not by choice, but reguardless, it doesn't have it. I would rather ride around with no power steering and power brakes, rather than the opposite.
