      Ive got a 92 Saab with a bad brake accumulator pump. The pump is a $1,500 part and the car is only worth $1,800. I plan on installing a new booster and master from an 89 saab and completely getting rid of the dumb accumulator system. other than some plumbing issues, is this going to be troublesome or is it a bad idea??

        Anytime we modify an already engineered system usually its bad.
        Unless a company has come out with a retrofit piece that bolts up
        and solves any previous issues. I would try and find a OE piece on ebay
        or wherever or make a decision to let the car go. 🙁

          Thanks for the reply,
          After doing some research it seems to be that I can revert the entire system back to a booster/master configuration using OEM parts. So instead of a 92 with a 92 oem brake system it will be a 92 with an 89 oem brake system. The car is in fantastic shape with 120k on the clock and no rust I would hate to junk it or pass the problem along.

              Just make sure that you are using parts from a car with a turbo.
