The Hydroboost runs off the power steering hydraulic system instead of using a Vacuum booster. So the unit fits in place of the vacuum booster behind the master cylinder. You're just switching one boost method for another. In my own case, my engine doesn't create enough vacuum to run a vacuum booster so the hydro-boost solved that problem and let me get rid of the vacuum booster, which took up more real estate under the hood as well.

Here's my Hydratech unit being installed in right now. I'm finishing up the lines while I wait on the pump.
