Bosch iBooster Brackets for 60/80 Series – Tested in Moab, Ready to Go

[txfzj80]

Bought this assortment kit at harbor freight last week and came in handy.

I got mine at my FLAPS (friendly local auto parts store).

Probably a stupid question, and quite
likely addressed in the instructions, but I assume that the brake booster vaccum hose is no longer needed. What are people using to cap the vacuum nipple?

Since the fitting was steel, I cut off the tube flush with the hex and welded it closed.

Including the correctly sized block off fitting would be a great addition to future versions of the kit.

Got mine installed today. Sure appreciate Torfab putting this all together. This is THE brake upgrade IMO. Made me realize just how shot my OE booster was.

I really appreciate all the feedback from this forum, we are making these a standard in all our builds now

Makes sense: it's a dirt cheap part, but makes it feel like more complete as a kit. Any time you can improve customer satisfaction for pennies has got to be a win!

Edit: totally misread Tor's post... disregard.

Pennies? Parts are 600$, not exactly pennies - lol

No, I mean the price difference per kit, adding in a vacuum cap.

 

[torfab]

Well that makes sense, I'll look into it for future kits. I figured you all would have a 8mm bolt laying around

 

[Broski]

Yes a 8mm bolt would look much cleaner

Will this work for us 1HDT right hand drive crazy people?

 

[NeverFinis]

Some of us have LS intakes for which GM offers a plug. Now, I got to find mine in my pile of parts as I removed it for one that allows brake booster vacuum.

Ive installed this booster from Tor with 100% success on an HZJ81 and doing an HDT now

Do you have a part number by any chance?

 

[NeverFinis]

Sadly, I don't think there is a GM part number separately from the intake. This is why I want to find my original one. Easiest would be to pull it from a junkyard intake or ICT Billet sells a metal one.

Thanks. I'll just find something random in the shop or measure it and buh something from Mcmaster carr or amazon. I like to keep the modifications looking clean so they don't attract any extra attention during state inspections. I don't need them looking too closely at anything.

Not to derail too much but are you planning on a vacuum pump delete? Place called hyperfab makes blanking plates. Might head down that path if its feasible.

shouldn't matter in CA, find a smog guy you "trust". If asked, tell them its OEM.
