    treehouse boosters

    Has anyone had one fail? Im pretty sure mine torn. My cars been running like shit lately and I think its do to the booster. I unhooked the vacuum line and it ran a hell of a lot smoother when i just plugged the vacuum port. I just noticed my manifolds where also white as fuck

    Any used booster can fail, be it from Treehouse or elsewhere.
    Sounds like you've already found the problem anyway.

            don't know about failing but I had the rod break. I haven't driven it for 25 miles. Lucky I was bleeding brake when that happened. Now I have to wait until they get one :hitler:

              I went and bought a geo-metro booster, made it work and run a vacuum reservoir. Works great. Lots of space and brand new Japanese part.

                    I am pulling it all apart again this weekend to re-do something that I was unhappy with. I will score some photos.

                      I've seen several Treehouse boosters in swapped cars and they were all new parts prior to installation.. wierd. Either way, I'm 99% sure that their stuff is warrantied.
