The Vanco Hydroboost System© puts out almost three times the braking pressure of normal vacuum assist units. If you are running 33” or larger tires on your Jeep you are in serious need of an upgrade for the stock brake system; the stock system just won’t cut it in an emergency situation. The popular rear disc brake upgrade so common to Jeep’s won’t increase your stopping ability on road either provided your rear drums are working correctly. This should be the first upgrade you consider if you’re looking for better brakes.
The Hydroboost System© works with 2 wheel & 4 wheel disc & requires a beefed up power steering pump.
The complete kit including Hydroboost, Master Cylinder, Direct mount bracket (no fab work required), hoses, and brake lines. There's no drilling or cutting of your vehicle involved. Typically this kit takes about 2-3 hours to install, plus the time required for the power steering pump modifications
if applicable.
94+ Jeep stock power steering units put out 1,100lbs of pressure. When you add this hydroboost you need a pump that puts out 1,500lbs to be able to use both the steering and the brake unit. If you have a pre-94 Jeep with power steering your stock pump should be ok. For 94+ models
there are two routes to upgrade the stock power steering pump. The first option is an upgraded stock power steering pump that will work fine with the hydroboost and factory power steering. This is
usually a direct bolt on upgrade that will deliver adequate power for the hydroboost, and the power steering system will continue to work as well as it did stock. Due to Jeep’s manufacturing tolerances there is actually a 1 in 2 chance your stock power steering pump will work fine, and a 1 in 4 chance it will work as well as
an after market modified stock pump, so you may wish to try your stock pump before going this route.
If you are looking for a power steering upgrade at the same time, or if you run hydraulic assist steering, you will need a more powerful pump. For these applications
look into the aftermarket high-performance power steering pumps.
With any power steering pump upgrade it is also recommend that you add a power steering cooler and an inline filter.
