Good morning all. I am about to throw my witby booster across my yard. First off, I had to heavily modify the booster to get the brake pedal to raise. When the car is off, the brakes feel great. Maybe 3 inches of travel. When I turn the car on however, the brake sinks to the floor. Also, the size of the booster prohibits me from putting my remote reservoir in front of the footbox. It would either be too high, or interfere with the hood struts. I currently have the reservoir on the side of the footbox, but realized that the heat from the headers was causing the fluid to boil in the lines between the reservoir and master cylinder. Should I just say "F it!" and revert back to the brakes that came with the complete kit, or does anyone have placement ideas for the reservoir? I can't imagine the car would be hard to stop even without power brakes. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

It's connected to the vacuum port on my EFI. It's got great suction.

Have you reached out to Jeff? I would think he’d have an answer for you.
