    To Boost or Not to Boost...

    and no this isnt about turbos hahaha!


    So the clutch booster on the GQ is completely effed.

    should i replace the master slave and have no boost?
    or should i just for out the 250 for a booster and pat 180 for the new master and slave on top?



    i dont like it when things break...

    Mate, at the end of the day its personal choice as to whether you want a boosted clutch or not.

    If its your daily & you want to have your left leg noticeably bigger then your right then go the none boosted option.

    If its your daily & you don't want the whole leg thing going on or maybe your wife/partner drives the Rig then fix or replace your clutch booster.

    I've had heavy clutched cars most of my life & it didn't tend to bother me much but would I go back to a non boosted clutch???..... Not on your life.... Its just works so well with a booster.

    P.s. I like the look of that kit you found & would probably go that way if it was me.... I've rekited plenty of break boosters & its really not that hard. Have a look on youtube, someone might have posted a DIY.

    Mate they're brilliant out in the bush, you can leave your foot on it for hrs if needed & as far as reliability is concerned??? even if your clutch booster did let go in the bush, its not going to stop you driving out of the bush.

    The only reason you hear of the odd one or few being done of late is there age & given there age I'd hate to even contemplate how many times that clutch peddles been stood on????

    Go fix your booster mate & be done with it.... By the sound of it your missing it already & rightly so cos they're awesome.....lol
