I saw this on Gears and he used it on a truck that needed more room under the hood. Has any considered this idea?

The v8 guys use the BMW Hydroboost solution. Much cheaper as you pick it up at the local salvage yard.

Or they swap the master cylinder over a manual brake solution using dual master cylinders with an adjustable bias bar.

Yeah I knew about that. But just some thinking.

I was also thinking for swaps other than v8. Like steve's 1.8 swap he had to use a different intake because the passat one hit the master cylinder.
