      The E21 booster works great. I drilled my clevis pin out to M12x1.5 and just threaded the shaft to that. Works GREAT!

      You can buy them from kragen refurbished for $121.

        Cut, welded, rethreaded the shaft on a $40 e21 booster. I couldn't be happier with it. If I do another 24v swap, I'll use the same method.

          When you grow up you guys will use ix/e32 boosters because we all know how crappy 944 brakes were factory on those shit box
          audi 4 bangers. And without a vac res an e21 booster blows cocks also.

          My e30 with E21 booster, could get scary sometimes.

                my brakes work perfectly fine.They feel better then the stock . Im sure that combo works as well, but my brakes feel much better after my swap. Your legs must be toothpicks bro.
