I know the brake booster works off of vacuum, and my engine is now turbo'd, so now their is boost when it is under load. I put a check valve between the engine and the booster. The car has been sitting for 5 years (and yes I still have full brake fluid), so I'm hoping it's just calipers sticking. Now I'm thinking about running the brake booster pre-turbo since it's not working that well. I've been wanting to do a 7th gen rotor/caliper swap. What have you guys experienced with the brakes when the st204 is turbo'd? It should work with the check valve.

the brake booster has a built in check valve. i had no brake issues when i turboed my GT. if you are having brake issues, while anything is possible and it could be the booster, i would look elsewhere.
how do you plan on running the booster pre turbo? where are you going to get your vacuum source? -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
