Hydro boost question
 

I am just curious if anybody running a hydroboost set-up has had a line blow? I tried to bleed my master cylinder, but there is no pressure on the hydro unit, so unlike a vacuum booster, the master cylinder doesn't move. I assume the accumulator would work if it had pressure, but after a few pumps, I guess the pressure in it would be released and then you would have no brakes?

the hydroboost doesnt affect the master cyl stroke...it just assists it.. even with the engine not running you should still have some brakes
but ive never had a hydro line blow
did you bench bleed the master cyl?

No, I didn't bench bleed it, but I have 2 hydro units here and they both do the same thing. There is no fluid in either of them and the master does not work.

How do you have the lines from the pump to hydro to steering box hooked up?

Is this a factory setup?
