For anyone that has thought about this, I would suggest going for it. I did it and the braking is amazing. I can give you some tips through my trial and errors. You can use your stock reservoir. One thing I don't see here is that your power steering pump reservoir will need to have a return. You can easily get one of these from a chev truck. You can google it, or pull yours and weld one on. I bought the chevy truck one. It is one from the 90's F250 from Oreilys. Was a direct swap with my pump.

I admit I'm not a power steering expert but I didn't have to do any welding on my pump reservoir. Don't they all have a low pressure return line? Mine did. The rubber line from the Hydroboost unit tees into the normal return line.

This is a plug and play system. All fittings and adapters are included.

Yeah, I they all have a return so you just have to T into the hose somewhere.
