[QUOTE="ForeverDriven, post: 1548997, member: 23685"] Hello everyone, I'm here with a 97 Coyote swap and my Hydroboost is killing me, specifically the PS side. Without too much detail, I got a different intake that required me to move the PS reservoir from my custom mount spot. I wanted to see how this intake ran before I made up a whole new bracket for the reservoir so I scrunched the reservoir down and went. Car felt great. At some point the next day, my power steering and brakes were randomly leaving until they left all together. I know a line from the reservoir could have pinched and sucked air into the system, but I never lost power assist when I was romping on it. I only noticed in the middle of a calmer highway drive the next day. I've bled these plenty of times and I know it should flow decently in the reservoir, but barely any movement. Rather sadly, I almost think I see some shiny bits in it. Has anyone ever broken or roasted a PS pump shaft, or experienced some sort of bad air pocket? I've bled it to the point where no bubbles appear, but I may go back in with a Allen key on an impact and spin it, see if I can force bubbles out that way. Any ideas would be great. If I had suffocated the pump, I would've thought I would hear it! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
