Removing the brake booster?

[Dan Bubb" <jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

Is the 17mm the bore of the non-boosted master cylinder???
If that's the case then this cylinder will need almost twice the stroke of a
16V cylinder. I'd think your pedal would be really low. Would prohibit heal
& toeing and would generally be irritating.
Not saying don't do it. But, if the pedal is too low I can't think of what
you would do to fix it without going back to the big cylinder and booster.
just my .02
