Many years ago I went to the Carter Carburetor School in St. Louis. Our
instructor was relating an incident that they had experienced with the
efficiency of Chrysler Ram Induction Systems. According to his story,
they were power braking a Plymouth in the garage and it built enough
pressure in the manifold to cause the vacuum booster to push the brake
off vaulting the car through the garage door before they could get off
the throttle.
If this story has any credibility, then even a small turbo boost would
certainly be a problem. If you have a vacuum boosted braking system.
