    How did you do the check valve on your booster?

    Hey everyone, I am sorting out some problems on my recently acquired m50 swapped project car. The booster appears to be original, certainly not an IX. I believe there is a check valve going into the booster and it appears the PO added a second in line check valve. I have seen this set up on many swaps in my search for an answer. Is the connection at the booster not a check value or is this running 2 check valves?

    I plan to replace the hoses since they are leaking and want to know if I need to replace that in line valve. It looks like the skinny port is broken off the in line check valve letting air in as well on mine. The booster is not making any boost for the brakes at all so at least one of these valves may need a replacement. I want to be sure I order the necessary valve or valves with my new hose.

        The fitting at the booster is not a check valve, it's just a 90* fitting.

          Thank you, makes more sense now. Not sure why a BMW mechanic I stopped in at said that is also a check valve. Not going back to that one!
