    OK the results are from pressure testing

    Without engine running at the MC 100-150 psi
    With engine running At the MC 600 psi
    lines to front 600 psi each side
    line to rear 600 psi
    With a 3 foot cheater bar on the brake pedal I reached 900 psi at rear with lots of pushing on the bar which was way over and beyond anything anyone could do with foot power on the pedal.
    I did a search and found that 900 + psi seems to be the norm.

    IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE DARN POWER BOOSTER IS BAD ? Its new but ?

    Navy, I really feel your pain, not trying to beat a dead horse;

    From the research I've done, the MC (engine off) should be closer to 400 psi, engine on closer to 1000/1200 psi.
    I know you've been all over this, but I can't help but think there's a MC mismatch problem?
