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.

Hmmmmmm!! Seems like a case of the old "new member, start a thread with one post" type of deal to me. What do ya'll think? Thanks for doing the research admin. camcojb. I am glad the OP asked the question, because I will be looking to get hydraboost in the future and I honestly thought the were all the same company.

Paul and Hydratech is #1! Both me and my brother run his system and it is amazing performance and top customer service. Would not get anything else!

^^^ x2

We live in a world where almost every product has competition. Features and functionality are rarely unique in any product.

Hydroboost's have been around for ages.

Paul's products are not unique, even the little tweaks and customisation etc, while important are probably not enough to make the product outstandingly different.

In a world where everything is the same, what really matters is customer delight, it's the whole experience from research, to the post install help 3 years after you bought it and still being looked after.

Paul delivers on this. I'm in Australia and I bought my HB from Paul over 3 years ago, but didn't go on the car till last year, when installing it (having never done one before) Paul was good with some advice to help me get it done. Thing rocks....best investment I made on may car.

As stated before found this thread (found it here on this forum) not google search and never claimed a link from a search engine.
I also provided info for any concerned parties to do there own research.
As to the comment all hydroboost are from the same company this is a undisputed fact. Pre 1985 hydroboost was Bendix Brake product Bendix was owned by Allied Chemical and Allied Signal Automotive. It was purchased from the Allied by Robert Bosch. The question is are the modificatioins that are taking place on the hydroboost safe. The answer from Bosch engineer is no it is not safe.
My children and grand children ride in my car I could not bare the thought of lossing one of them to a potential problem with a braking system.
So yes I'm careful with the products I use to protect my family and freinds.
Hey guys we are all free moral agents in this world free to make our own choices.
Call Bosch and check it out for your selfs what you will learn will open your eyes.

For the sake of your family and friends I certainly hope you drive better than your grammar and spelling.

Me selfs trusts Hydratech based on their performance record to date. My hunch is your posts will send a few customers Hyratech's way.

So very, very true.

Slickrig claims to be an engineer, yet cannot correctly spell the simple words "safety", "tensile", "corporation" (spelled wrong twice), "dangerous" and used the word advise when he clearly meant advice. This is a major red flag and puts a serious dent in his credibilty when claiming to have been trained in advanced applied math and science.




Slickrig, it's obvious that you're here with an agenda and are clearly not who you are portraying. Your next post will determine how long your stay will be in this community.

That doesn't actually rule him out as being an engineer LOL. There are PHD college professors that have bad grammer and spelling.
