    Arrow Brake Booster filling with boost? Hard pedal after full throttle.

    Hey guys,

    In my 89 caravan turbo on 17psi the brake pedal goes hard after a pull. It goes makes to normal after a few seconds though.

    What do I need to replace to fix this?
    Also, is there a valve I can put inline with the booster line as well to prevent this as a safety measure?

    Thanks,
    -Jeff

    Might be the check valve on the booster. Cheap to fix.

    Check valve on the booster is no good or you have a leaking diaphragm.

    The weird thing is it holds vacuum after the engine is off, so I am guessing it is boost pushing past the valve.
