I went through my dang truck, put new booster, master cylinder, check valve, SS lines, rotors, pads and i still couldnt get mine to stall up without pushing "Thru" the front brakes. I prolly wasted a gallon of brake fluid tryin to bleed the lines.

Went to the junkyard and picked up a hydroboost setup off a newer Tahoe. Best $160 ive ever spent!! Not to mention it was half of what all the new Vacuum booster and stuff was.
Now i can brake stall it up with my toyos on a back country road with no problem and get 4psi..

At the track i can get 5psi off the line with my DRs.. RPMs are at 2500 or so with the stock 80E converter.

And the brakes work a whole lot better when towing and stuff!!

So if i were to do it again, id go Hydroboost..

I don't have a problem with pushing through the brakes until about 8psi. When the turbo is cold I can hold it against the converter for as long as I want without pushing throught the brakes but it won't make boost at all.

I cant smell anything in mine, unless theres race gas in it.
