Thats the suprised part.
After reading the claims of Hydratech and changes to the hydroboost unit it stood the hair up on my neck.(Im a Allied Signal Safty Engineer and worked for the Braking Division) I also made a call to the Bosch Corperation and was able to speak to one of the engineers about re-drilling and re-tapping the holes in the casting and grinding the surface if this changed the integrity of the hydroboost. The answer was a resounding yes any changes to the hydroboost from its orginal equipment manfactured satus would be considered unsafe and dangerious. These units go through a high level of testing to make them safe for the consumer having the wrong level of tensil strength bolts or re-drilling and re-tapping negates all testing and safty measures provided by Bosch.
Anybody can check this information out just contact the Robert Bosch Corperation hydroboost division located in Saint Joesph Michigan,
Here some sound advise from an old fart for what it's worth run don't walk away from formentioned practices there are many companies selling a safe product that has not been changed.
hmmmmmmmmmmm............. I just googled your hydroboost braking systems search and went through the first ten pages and still had not found a link to this thread. Almost sounds like you're the guy or a friend of the guy who's name we removed.
