Locked brakes and power steering??

Hello

A couple months ago I swapped a hydro boost system from my parts truck onto my daily driver. Basically just for better braking. And other then one broken power steering belt and a leak that I haven't been able to find. Everything has been pretty good until tonight.

Tonight on my way home, my wife asked me to stop and get some stuff from the grocery store. On my way out, I checked and added some power steering fluid. Then when I went to stop at the end of the parking lot. It felt like my brakes locked up and I lost power steering. I managed to get it back to a parking space and let it sit for a few minutes. After which every thing seemed fine. And worked fine until I went to pull into my driveway and it started again.

So after all that. My first thought was that I just let it get too low on fluid. Next thought was the hydro unit, but the lost of power steering has me thinking power steering pump. Any suggestions, this is my first go around with a hydro boost system???

Thanks
