Brake servo thought
Turbo Mini Forums

Hmm prob a real stupid question but i cant get round this in my head, if you left foot brake in a turbo mini with a servo will the servo not perform as well as in a NA car due to the boost generated? just a thought

Hi,
The servo has a built in vacuum reservoir and a one way valve in the pipe.
You can usually get a couple of presses of the pedal before you loose the servo effect, then you're on your own, unless off boost by now....
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Fit a mechanical vacuum pump from a diesel or similar.

Imagine how rally cars perform with anti-lag systems...not very often they will see vacuum !!!!

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

generally you are braking with your right foot so in leaving the throttle pedal you are under vaccum.

When you are left foot braking you are rarely using the full force of the brakes so I doubt if you will notice it.
