Well my Powermaster finally died on me at about 70mph I was only about a mile from home, it took me half an hour to get back home.
Anyway, I had purchased a vacuum brake conversion kit a while back so I would have it when the slugmaster died. So I installed it this weekend. What a difference! But this got me thinking, what happens under boost as far as pressure on the booster? I know the booster has a check valve on it that is supposed to be a one way valve but was it designed for boost? I have one of those PCV in-line check valves that I don't use and was wondering if it could be used in-line on the booster line.
Also, to the people that use vacuum brakes do you use the that black vapor trap? I noticed that the TTA doesn't use one. I would rather just run the hose line without it if I don't need it.
TIA
Matt
