Paul, thanks for reaching out, it’s nice to know that people are asking about us. We have done a fair amount of work with hydraboost style applications over the years. In fact, a highly boosted system works very well with our calipers because of their inherit rigidity. The issue using a less rigid caliper with the higher line pressure provided by the hydraboost is that the caliper will flex more (in some cases permanent deformation) leading to excessive drag, accelerate piston bore wear and tapered pad wear. Let us know if you want more information or call Jason at 805-987-7867.
You can see some examples of that deformation and abnormal pad wear in these pics. These are NOT TBM Brakes!!
