I think, at least either or maybe both the dump valve or spool valve need to be modified when adding hydro to your rig....

Not sure what the dump valve is ? Is It on the Hydro or the SB ? For the spool valve I know that mongo was using a stock LR box without modifications so that would not be the problem in my case.

Just finished talking to Van from Vanco and he modified the hydroboost to 5/16 inside and changed the fittings to bigger ones for more flow. That should take care of my problem he says. The steering locks when I apply the brakes. Will have the unit back next week and will report back.

Got the hydroboost back from Vanco installed it today and it seems to work. Will see in the trail next month if it overheats or gives me problems. Vanco modified the inside from 1/4 to 5/16 and put bigger fittings on the unit. I bleeded the unit for the first time and it seems fine.
