Unintended acceleration

Do you know that even the recent cars still use the exact same vacuum pump
that we have on our urQ, 5K turbo cars ? In 2005, while I was at Renault,
these Bosch-made pumps were everywhere under the hood of many diesel cars to
produce the vacuum needed for the brake boosters.

Could be a cheap way to implement this setup on an auto-x car... You can
even let it in the same place, and "cheat" the routing if it is not
permitted. 

Did I say "cheating "? Must be Flavio's influence, we were both at Renault
at the same period...

Would SCCA et al permit you to either add a vacuum pump or add a
larger vacuum reservoir?

Googling "vacuum assist" and "autox" turns up loads upon loads of hits
about this from owners of many different car models.
