I feel if any parts will be bought it would be the electric vacuum pump as the vacuum tank is not unlimited, i want a unlimited amount of braking so the 1 to 10 km steep hills i frequent can be safely engine off coasted.

I live in a mountainous region with many opportunities to coast, One is a 10 km coast from the top of the Pass leading to my city.
