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.
