yeah it seems that way
when your sittin in the car n push the brake pedal in u hear this gushing air sound n the revs of the motor drop so the motor near stalls
is there a test i can do to b certain if the booster is stuffed?
U do realise that your 'turbo calais' has a NON turbo booster troy !! maybe thats just the start of ur problems from now on
spose u got a clunky ass 25 spline single spinner in the rear aswell ay.
bummer !
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
The one way valve is the flat grey thing thats at the end of the hose connecting to the engine.
You could do a few tests such as run the engine at idle for 1 min. turn it off and pump the brake pedal to see if its still got vaccum assist. On a working booster 2-3 pumps and the pedal will get hard. On a shagged booster, it should get hard right away or within 1 pump.
Good vaccum boosters tend to hold their vaccum for upto 30 mins afterwards as well.
Definately sounds a vaccum air leak related problem as the engine is stalling because its swollowing too much unmetered air and the combustion formula is wrong.
