[urq] Brakes

I left foot brake on the street and always at the track.  Steamboat , Georgetown Lake and even at HPR with Hackls urq (at altitude)....  You will likely never notice it.  Since left foot braking is rarely a multiple 'stop' exercise and full braking is a vaccuum situation not sure I see what the issue is.  Plenty of production turbo cars came with no aux pump or aux reservoirs.  

The simplicity of ditching that leak prone urq setup makes this conversion a no brainer.  We spoke to this exact debate when converting Hackls Pikes Peak urq to vacuum brakes.  2 years  of runs up the hill so far with no issue or driver complaint.

Tapping a larger fitting into the intake manifold, and using a larger hose will "supposedly" make it a non issue. (can't testify to that)

Did you install a larger vacuum reservoir or aux vacuum pump?  I wonder how long 
the brake assist holds in track situations.

I just recently installed a booster/master combination from a 1994 90 and it was 
a total bolt in solution.
