I have about 4 miles on the new setup! They come on really strong as soon as you touch the pedal so thatll take some getting used to, its not like the vac setup where you push it a bit then theyll start grabbing then keep pushing to grab harder. Seem to go from nothing to locked up in just a small movement of the pedal. But they are way stronger then they ever were and very firm.

Once you get used to them, you'll love it. Mine was the same way, it took me more than a week to get used to them driving every day. Before with the vac booster, coming out of boost they were twice as soft, so I always just pumped them once real quick. The first week was training myself not to make my head hit the windshield with the pump.

Yep ill get used to it. Read on how to bleed the hydroboost system. I thought it was the same as a reg powersteering system. Let it idle and turn the wheel back and forth which gave me steering but i guess if your not pressing the brake pedal then the fluid is just bypassing through the hb unit so you supposed to turn the wheel back inforth while the pedal is depressed to have the fluid flow through the diaphram or something in the hb unit doing this made the steering real hard for a few turns so there was air still in the hb unit plus ur supposed to press the pedal a few times with the engine off to make use of the reserve in the accumulator forceing whatever air might be in there and replace it with fluid
