I have heard that there was an article dealing with a hydroboost installation on a turbo Regal sometime this year. I can't find it on the website, so does anyone know which issue this was in? Thanks.

As many Grand National owners will attest, when the Powermaster braking system works-it works well, however when it fails ... all hell breaks loose. Complaints often consist of a fading brake pedal, a hard pedal, or a spongy pedal, any of which can be caused by any of the components within the system. The Powermaster system consists of a master cylinder, accumulator ball, pressure switch, and an electric motor. The electric motor supplies the pressure to assist in braking much like the brake booster in a vacuum-operated system. However, the Powermaster system has a high rate of failure due to a potentially faulty pressure switch, the electric motor crapping out, or a bad accumulator not storing enough pressure. A rebuilt Powermaster unit can be had for anywhere between $400 to $600, but who wants to lay out that kind of dough every year or two? Better yet, who wants a braking system with a high rate of failure?
