The
REAL BRAKE BOOSTER;
It had been about month since the upgrade of Booster, Discs & pads.
Hadn't observed any magical improvement in the braking performance, was waiting for the running in of the the new discs & pads.
In the meanwhile the new discs started squeaking especially when turning in reverse gear. So reported the problem to the ASC and also told them there aint any gain with the new booster, so they told me to bring in the car for inspection.
So the day of the inspection i asked them to cross verify the part no. and got to know that they had installed a new booster (but the old one i.e. as per the chassis code) & gave a reason to me that the upgraded 850 NM was not fitting
To my shock i asked them to take out the fitment instruction leaflet which on further inspection got to know that they hadnt tried putting a spacer / adapter which was required if you wanted to retrofit the 2012 booster on the 2010 models.
Also i had to show them live pics on my phone from Guderians thread where it is put up in detail about the upgrade.
So finally they tried to fit in the
REAL BRAKE BOOSTER again;
And finally it was a perfect fit;
And also regarding the squeaking brakes i had them give me a brand new brake discs fitted under warranty.
Took the trial of the car in the evening before delivery and one touch on the brake was enough for me to understand the difference the REAL BRAKE BOOSTER made. It was really MAGICAL now & the feel of the brakes was sharp & spot on. Finally could feel that there has been a proper upgrade.
Also i thank Harish (Guderian)

who was constantly in touch over the phone with me during this mess created by the ASC.
Since then the car has done about 100 kms after the upgrade & really satisfied with the upgrade, hoping that after the running in of the new discs the performance will further >
Also attaching a pic of the old booster which they had fitted, & the only identification to distinguish both the brake boosters is where the arrow is marked;
That Metal piece in the new booster is pointing in the upward direction where as in the old (650 nm) is pointing towards the side. This should be of help for other people to distinguish the brake boosters.
Also this entire so called mess / non mature attitude of the ASC / fraud has been reported to the concerned people @ Toyota Western region head, hopefully some strict action will be taken against the people involved.
