I want to order the KRC pump however the PSC reservoir for the hydroboost is out of stock for a few weeks maybe. What else is new these days with obtaining parts.

i think this set up will be ideal and i really like the fact of the filter in the reservoir and how it looks. I just had a friend who is a machinist stop over and he will make me a bracket for the res to mount near the pump.

the shop that does all my work just turned me on to this Borgeson Hydroboost Pump they found while searching. It’s a Saginaw type unit.

Anyone here ever use it or know if this pump really will work right with a rack and pinion and the hydratech unit? I think the GPM is a bit much but you can reduce the PSI with a shim kit,

Hydraulic pressure and volume is like discussing torque and horsepower...
 
Reducing max pressure relief with a shim kit does not reduce the pump flow. Excessive pump flow produces excessive heat - just like putting a high volume / high pressure oil pump unnecessarily into an engine and dealing with superheated foaming oil. Higher max pressure relief is "good" when in proper spec, while high flow is "bad" when too high, requiring a mandatory large cooler installation just to keep the PS system operating temps reasonable.

Philly, call my guy Jim and enjoy a good conversation:

Im running a DSE Type 2 pump with the plastic reservoir with my Hyrdaboost and it works great. No issues.

the shop just received the PSC remote res and i have no idea where i can mount this and still make it look good, another hurdle but it is much larger than i expected. My KRC pump is also at the shop and i think they are waiting on some fittings and lines before they call me to come in for the swap.
