Bought new hoses and booster. after installation running worse, could it be the wrong booster? Or I installed the hoses on incorrectly?

Please remove the check valve from the booster (engine off) you should hear vacuum escape. If not, the booster is bad and allows a vacuum leak. Let me know what you find.
