The installation will require some cutting behind the dash for the newer unit.

My questions are :

Will there be a significant braking improvement ?
Has anyone made this modification before /Cons and pros.

Thanks

No, the stock m/c is 19.05mm, the boosted one is 20.6mm, the larger m/c bore means that the pedal will have a bit less travel and require a bit more leg, the boosted aspect reduces the leg needed. Generally this is a good thing to a point but the large amount of work needed to get this done for minimal change indicates against it. But it is your time and money
