hmmmmm...
the booster works by having the air inside sucked out by engine vacuum. the one way valve is there to only allow air to flow in the direction of the engine.
if it was backwards, then it would only allow air, at greater pressure than in the booster, to flow toward the booster, and not out, so it would not work at all..
if it was the right way round, then air would be sucked out when the engine is not boosting, and when on boost, the one way valve should seal so that the vacuum stays in the booster..
maybe the booster has a broken diaphragm? mayeb the one way valve is leaking?
dunno... put a boost/vacuum gauge on the booster vac line, and see whats going on.. if it's pulling, and holding, vacuum, then it's a problem with the booster itself or the way the lines are hooked up....
