We are knee deep in our coyote build, and called BC to order some more parts. When I told them that I was going to use wilwood moab hydroboost , they stated that there are issues using hydroboost with the coyote. Anyone know what this is all about? They stated something about the engine shutting off... thanks

No idea, but following along.

If anything I would have thought any issue with Coyotes and other stuff would be physical clearance rather than some functional compatibility.

Is it the power steering pump that gets reversed in the mounts in order to fit the engine?

I called BC again today, and they stated that you can do hydroboost, it’s just that performance of the coyote won’t be as good. Issues can be:
1. Flooring the gas could cause steering to go out of whack and make you veer
2. Slamming on the brakes could cause engine to shut off
Anyone have issues such as these? I spoke to Kat and she said Jason isn’t using hydroboost on their builds because of these reasons.

If I remember correctly, Coyote does not have a power steering pump. So the pump is a retrofit. The pump activity should be irrelevant to the engine driving it. The pump doesn't know what engine is spinning it.
