I also have the CPP setup. It has a few issues that I've had to resolve. I think they should do better with these but, I would still buy it again.

See these 3 posts from my build thread:

Ahh i see, thanks for posting pics ^^

it's not that difficult to mount a booster in the stock mc location using the stock arm
i used a hydroboost on truk but the small vac boosters mounts under floor just as easy.
this is my bracket, but the easiest one i've seen to date used the stock mc, gutted and the back cut out.
then they stuck a rod thru the mc into the booster mounted on the frame

more pics in my thread i believe

I sawed off the reservoir part of the original master cylinder, and used the original pedal mount. I used a 3/8 plate bent to a 90, used a hole saw, mounted the hydroboost on the plate behind the original master with a little longer rod, and then ran all the hydraulic lines in the frame. works great. just needed a disc sander to clean up the saw cuts and a little black paint.
