Hi guys, i know this isnt the brake thread but i figured id ask here... Since fitting my supercharger my brakes havent been as good. I know that blown motors are notorious for reduced brake efficiency , so i am curious if anyone has added any vacuum assistance to their cars? I have seen some electric vacuum pump kits and was wondering how well these work on our cars (if any one has fitted one) Another option that has been thrown at me is to fit an alternator from a diesel vehicle that has a vacuum pump built onto the backside of it, but my understanding is these need to be plumbed into a pressurised oil from engine feed with a return... Any advice would be great, thanks...

ummm what " I know that blown motors are notorious for reduced brake efficiency" WTF?????? where did that nugget of information come from (brown nugget that is!)
hook up the brake booster correctly and zero difference!
No, my booster vac line runs of right after the throttle body. My brakes was very good before i fitted sc and felt fadded after the instal. I was driving around the last few days with blower bypassed and my brakes felt good again, but when i swapped the belts back to run blower tonight the pedal feels softer again.
on a pushrod dinosaur running a 6v71 blower with carbs and cams that have stupid amounts of overlap maybe but on an m90 blown 1uz it will be FINE plumbed up correctly! post some photos of your blower install
