Hydroboost issues

I added a hydroboost set up on my 250 2 months ago. Used hydroboost unit from junkyard(ford reman tag). and proper dual return power steering pump from o'rilleys. Works fine during normal stopping. But if you panic stop the first few seconds it seems like no power brakes then suddenly it goes to work and the truck stops quickly. Anybody else run into this?

Sounds like hydroboost to me. Our '15 dodge, excuse me, Fiat Ram, we just got at the state does this too, and on top of not stopping for a second, you lose power steering on top of it. One of the reasons i stayed with the vacuum booster.
