Hydro-Boost Brake Booster – Hydraulic Power Brake Assist System
Product Type: Hydraulic Brake Booster (Hydro-Boost®)
Application: Factory Replacement or Vacuum Conversion
Brand: Sweeting Performance
Condition: New
Operation Type: Hydraulic Assist (Power Steering Driven)
Mounting Location: Firewall (Factory Location in Most Applications)
The Hydro-Boost® Brake Booster uses hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump
(typically 1,000+ PSI) rather than engine vacuum (approximately 15 PSI).
This provides stronger, more consistent braking assist — especially in heavy-duty,
diesel, towing, or performance applications.
Why Choose Hydro-Boost®?
- Does not rely on engine vacuum
- Ideal for diesel engines and large camshaft applications
- Increased braking assist for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks
- Improved pedal consistency under towing or load
- Supports larger brake and axle upgrades
- Compact design fits where vacuum boosters mount
- Integrated accumulator provides reserve assist if engine stalls
Replacement or Conversion
- Direct replacement for factory Hydro-Boost® systems
- Conversion from vacuum brake booster
- Upgrade from manual brake systems
Hose Kit Options
Hydro-Boost® systems require high-pressure lines from:
Power Steering Pump → Hydro-Boost → Steering Gear
- 2 Stainless / 2 Rubber: PTFE stainless high-pressure lines with rubber returns
- 4 Rubber: Stock appearance with simplified installation
- 4 Stainless: Full stainless braided system for uniform performance look
All hose configurations are rated for required hydraulic pressure.
Selection is based on installation preference and engine bay appearance.
Compatibility Notes
- Engine swaps (LS, diesel, etc.)
