      yuor basicly looking at an adapted set up from a Dodge Carravan ABS setup. I forget who actually maskes it but I believe its either Bosch or Bendix.
      It simply uses a high power electric motor to pump up the nitrogen pressurized accumulator(the black ball) and it works bu the pressure going low and the pump running. Only thing to mess up is if the switch goes out or the accumualtor leaking off.
      Millions sold but how much the stockers are about $1500 bucks for the main piece without the ABS computer.
      Looks good though, might keep thisin mind for Monza.

      I'm lookin' at them. I like the Hydroboost idea, but I really don't want more power steering lines running around.

      The power steering lines can be routed discretely.

      I had the factory electric brake boost on my '86 GN and had to replace the accumulator about every 30k miles. The diaphragm would go bad and the N2 would escape into the fluid. Luckily it self bled the gas out but you only had only one assisted stop once it went bad. I also thought the assist was inadequate for the size car. I hope these units have been improved since then.
