Shorter master cylinder?
 
I need a shorter Master Cylinder for my 91' 5.0 cause my JY turbo is hitting one of the lines.... Thought it would be easier to find a replacement if anyone makes one.. thanks for any info..

How about a hydroboost? The Cobra uses it. By dad is an engineer for Bosch braking systems. One of his responsibilities was the hydroboost. When the cobra went to the quad overcam engines they couldn't fit a brake booster and a master cylinder in the car because the heads are so large. The hydroboost allows improved performance and doesn't use vacuum from the engine to run the system.

I need a simple bolt on replacement available at an autopart store... Have no idea how the heck a Hydroboost works.. but I'm sure it's cool..

If it is hitting the line why not just re-run the line. taht would be alot simpler than changing the master cylinder.

That is my second solution... but the turbo is very close to the mastercylinder itself.. I may end up rerunning the line and wrapping the crap outta the turbo piping and base to make sure it wont interfere with the line or brakes.. Heat isn't good for brakefluid...
