I'm converting my EH to 4 wheel discs using VT twin spots on the front and a VL turbo diff with discs at the rear.

There is bugger all room in the engine bay for a booster - currently I am running a remote booster (VH40 I think) under the front guard for my LH torrie discs on the front.

I assume I will have to run a dual master for the 4 wheel discs, will I need to run dual boosters if I want them remote mounted? Does anyone know what master cylinder I should use for this set-up? Will I have problems with brake balance? Can anyone suggest a better set-up?

If rego says to use a tandem and boost all 4 then you would need to adapt 2 remote boosters like old BMW's do.
Preferred method would be a twin master cylinder setup with balance bar -non adjustable from drivers position- with the correct sized cylinders. Check with rego first. If you use this system you won't need a booster at all.

..whats a twin master balance bar set-up worth? Where can I find some info on that set-up? I'd prefer not ot have to use a booster at all but if its going to be too $$$$$ I may have to revert to the remote boosters.

In Melbourne I'd go see either Howard or Brad at RaceBrakes in Racecourse road North Melbourne or John at Cebco - sorry john I don't have your street address.
Racebrakes should have the items in stock for you to look at and discuss.
I'd say the balance bar twin master setup would be cheaper than buying 2 remote boosters.
