has anyone converted to the hydro boost brake system?

Why? Have you even upgraded the other stopping parts?

What is that?

Hydroboost.

I don't think anyone has, and I don't see the reason anyone would.

pedal feel like **** too......

some of the mustangs use them I believe, probably wouldn't be too hard to make on a SHO......

thy used them on alot of older lincoln stuff. they are good if you need space or have a heavily modded carborated motor where vaccum is an issue.

install cobra calipers. That was the end of my mushy brakes on 2 of my SHO's.

i am thinking about boosting my car and not sure if i will lose vaccum supply. and if you have the right setup the pedal would be stiffer and less work to stop the vehicle

You plan on using your brakes while WOT? You will still pull vacuum with a boosted engine at idle or on engine deceleration (when you usually use your brakes).

I think it would be less trouble to just run a standalone vacuum pump, if that's the concern. Some diesels use them, I think they can be had in electric or belt driven.

its just some ideas i have had and playing with im still new to turbos i have played around with my friends cars but still have not completly figured it out

I got hydroboost on my V10 E450 , and its just another system to do the same job , its changing 4 quarters for a dollar , really.

A set of stainless flex lines firm's up the "feel".

you will still have brakes if you try to use them at WOT for a few pumps of the brake pedal. There is a reserve capacity in the booster. Trust me I did a lot of brake boosting on my turbo ATX. My only issue was melting brake pads and cracking rotors. Never once did I have a issue with my brake booster or the vacume supply to it... unless you count the time I went for a drive and left the line unhooked. That will get your attention in a big hurry.
