    Default turbo/v8 brake booster

    well i have the chance to pick up a turbo/v8 booster cheap.

    should i snap it up????
    ive got a new 1" master, disc rear end now and my vt fronts.

    i know its not need but will it be wise to get it now and fit it as ill be upgrading the brakes futher on down the track??? save removing the master later.

    well it will save me having to remove the mastercylinder if i do need it later when im running 343 disc on front and 315 rears.
    i would just rather not risk spilling the brake fluid over a pearl paint job

    yeha i agree with mag. just buy it and fit it and keep the o.ld one as a spare. its a perishable part and it might get shagged when you dont have the cash to throw aroung so i'd be just getting it
    brakes are for safety so its well justified imho.

    yer i did buy it, 28 bucks for the booster. its basically new,
    pbr and has a sticker with a date on it 07/06
    no bubbles on the paint and is clean as

    also got a 1" master cylinder which was connected to it and is very dam clean, so i assume it was all fitted at once and was new

    the 1" master is also for sale
