Pacbrake for 01,will it work for 90?

I expect that the outlet size on my 18.5 is different, that is going to change this year anyhow. I have a line on this brake cheap, no install directions. i can fab a bit, so making it fit could happen, but are there any electrical differences? I know i need 60psi valve springs. any info or opinions are appreciated, i would like to get back to the guy as soon as possible.

I think (???? OW! that hurt! ???) it will fit with the correct turbo and 2nd gen DP... maybe...

IIRC there was a thread awhile back with a 1st gen using a 2nd gen exhaust break and DP.

It can't be that difficult. Big deal on the fabbing, the controls may be the most difficult.

The control side won't be hard. Run the vacuum solenoid off a microswitch triggered by the throttle linkage.

Well, Im going to try and see the guy tonight, what should I look for as far as complete wiring? I figure if it is missing anything a new harness could be had from pacbrake. What about the condition of the brake itself? Not to much to go wrong aside from a sticking butterfly valve is there?

As long as the butterfly moves when you apply vacuum to the actuator, the brake itself is OK.
