When going the turbo route, is it better off using a bias pedal box for space or will the standard set up be sufficient?
Thanks.
Bias pedal box?

Depends what you intend to use the car for.
Bigger brakes and a different master cylinder will but sufficient TBH.
A pedal box is a bit overkill for a road car and for occasional track use.
If it's predomintlely a track car then it's possibly worth it.
Have you ever driven a car with a pedal box?

Yes, plenty - why do you ask?

If it was my car and I was using it mainly for track, I would go the pedal box route. I do enjoy the way the pedals are with a floor mounted setup.
Only reason I ask is not many people realise how much affect the servo actually has. Driving a car with no servo through traffic isn't particularly fun.

Not sure what space issues you would run into, turbo is on the other side to the servo

I'm running the CompBrake servo mounted pedal box, the only spaces issues I have found is;
1. You need to remove the outlet on the manifold for the servo vacuum.
2. Slight modification to allow the throttle cable to attach to the throttle body.
This is with the M50 manifold as below...

i have got an obp floor mounted pedal box for my setup, looks like it is going to work out quite well, but only got it as i am going to be running a bbk all round with custom lines etc so thought i may aswell go the whole hog!
