    Turbo conversion, brake servo one way valve?? confused.

    Turbo conversion, brake servo one way valve?? confused.

    I finished my turbo today (ish) i put a 1 way valve on the brake servo line and the brakes are shocking. now im confused, if its a one way valve, then how does it get vaccum? if no air can travel that way, isnt it the same as just blocking the brake servo hose up?
