did you hook up the one way check valve backwards (the arrow should point towards the vacuum source)? leave the vacuum hose off?

a hard pedal is a sign of either a bad booster or vacuum to the booster

there is a vacuum line (a black hose) that connects from the brake booster (big black round thing behind the master cylinder) to the little grey plastic piece with an arrow on it (check valve) then from the check valve to the intake manifold.
