Message: [QUOTE="Kowboy, post: 1538323, member: 29363"] I had the same question, I found this on the Hydro-boost conversion sticky. Page 16 post #154 by Got4wd " Thought I would add a little "new" information into this thread, I got a hydroboost unit from Tom S and sent it off to be ported. I wanted to see how much better a ported unit was. I can tell you there is a few things that are better, pedal feel is greatly improved. Meaning it is much easier to push the pedal down and still have excellent brakes. I would say it's between a stock vacuum system and a converted hydroboost. I feel having it ported was worth it just having the better pedal. Also to all "future" hydroboost installers, I would advise to order part number 6u9z-2005-a. This is the part number I got from Tom S. It is a different unit than a motorcraft brb-37. The spacing where the master cylinder mounts is narrower than the motorcraft one. So when you mount up your stock master, you will not have to notch it to make it fit. Also the newer super duty masters will bolt up just fine too. Super duty masters are a 1 3/8 bore and set up for rear discs. I'm having to order a new master for mine since I had to notch my brand new master to make it fit Toms hydroboost. I will post how that works out next week." I found that PN# 6u9z-2005-a here [url]https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-booster-asy-brake_6u9z-2005-a.html[/url] Also this fits a 07 to 09 F53 striped chassis. Rock Auto: [url]https://www.rockauto.com/?carcode=1500997&parttype=1884[/url] New Ford number I believe: F81Z2005CA and Cardone 527367 The rod between the booster and master is not included, this can be purchased on Ebay do a search for 129496-BH or 129496-SH the price just went up to $40 with $11 for shipping. I do not know the correct part yet as I have not received the booster. Good Luck Bill You maybe able to contact the ebay seller and buy everything from them. [/QUOTE]
