      Please Help! Hydroboost Trouble!

      I finished up my hydroboost install today and ran into some troubles. Here is where I stand.
      All lines are correct.
      My Hydroboost unit does not have an accumalator.
      The pump SCREAMS when I rev up the engine. Its fine at an idle.
      I have power brakes, but a TON of travel in the pedal.
      I have no power steering.

      The pump is new, for an 85 Grand National. The Hydroboost unit is from a Grand National, was said to be in working condition. The gear box is also from a grand national.

      I really dont know where to start.
      Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, im just frustrated.

      That should be an electrically driven Powermaster system if it is a stock GN piece? Is the fluid frothy?

      Fluid is good. In 85 it was a straight Hydroboost system. Other years of GN use the Powermaster system.
