PWR steering? PWR brakes? related?

I have replaced my steering linkage, ball joints, steering shaft, power steering pump and installed Borgeson gear box and shaft.
when I apply the brakes, I loose power steering.
Anyone had this problem?

Bad hydroboost maybe? Make sure everything is bleed good first, turning wheel back and forth with wheels off the ground until fluid is full and free of any foam, with truck running. Did it do this before?

Problem is, I bought and installed a new Borgeson gear box. Not supposed to be a problem.
Good thing is KLM is replacing the box.
Bad thing is, I have to pay for another box installation.
