the story is i have a 91' N/a and im doing a t2 swap and im told i either need a t2 brake booster or i can cheat and just use a check valve......now what i want to know is:

A- how reliable is this?
B-where can i get a check valve that will work for this?
C-does anybody have a write-up or pic of this procedure?

please anybody help me out. thanks -mike

 

this is the first I've heard of a T2 swap requiring a different brake booster. Who told you this?

 

umm dont remember who exactly but i remember reading a couple times in different places that if i try to use the stock N/a brake booster then it will blow up cause boost will build too much pressure. was i wrongfully informed? if so then forget this post and ill just use the stock N/a booster. please anybody who has done this swap let me know or naybody who knows for sure. thanks -mike

 

oh, I see what you are saying. I don't believe the stock N/A brake booster will be damaged when the turbo starts creating positive manifold pressure because the stock brake booster line already has a check valve in it.

 

hmmm still a little weary to try it before knowing, not that i am questioning your judgment but i would rather be safe then sorry. -mike

 

ALL FC'S HAVE CHECK VALVES IN THEM TURBO OR NOT.
Project84 is right.
Go look at your car before questioning replies.
