Re: How I got Hydroboost for under $80 (including lines)

Ooh, I guess I should mention one last thing. Obviously, I have an LSx swap, and as such, have a newer power steering pump with the correct metric outlet port. If you have the original one and want HB, there are a few options that I can think of.

1) Replace your pump with a newer pump
2) Rob the outlet and it's inner piece from a junkyard pump (make sure you get both pieces)
3) if you don't want to do either of those, you can cut off the metric end of the new hose and the end of the stock hose, and reflare the new hose with the old fitting to mount to your stock pump, like you would for the gearbox.
