Anything to do before swapping 929 master to JDM brake booster?
I'm deleting my ABS and got the JDM brake booster and 929 master. I'm gonna go ahead and put the master on the booster and wanted to know if there was anything I should I before install? Also, would it be ok to install the brake booster upside down? I'd like the vacuum port to face the engine and b kinda hidden when installed. Just wanna make sure before putting the master cylinder in. Of course I won't install the master upside down. That should go without saying but I know someone will think I'm crazy.

I've read the JDM brake booster is better than the USDM brake booster. I just wanna install it 180* from its original position. Is this ok? I've seen it done on other vehicles but wanna be sure.

By JDM, do you mean the later, shorter brake booster? There is a rubber seal on the back of the master that you could replace, but yours is likely to be fine tbh. Don't see any reason why it couldn't be installed upside-down, its just a vacuum chamber & the bolts will line up fine... Make sure you cut the one-way valve out your current hose and put it in the new one.

Less assisted brakes..Fitted one on mine, here's a size comparison shot I took when swapping them out:

Where are you guys finding your boosters? Mine just went out and I haven't has much luck finding one. I would rather keep a usdm one but I'm not against using a jdm one. I will be doing this same exact swap next weekend as long as I can obtain a booster. I already have the 929 master.
