Thanks for the advice,
The inside of the booster is extremely clean (looks new in fact), so I'll check for sand grains or stuff I may have brought in.
As for the pressure accumulator, it goes for 165 € (here in France) and is sold 74 $ at pellican parts, the problem is that they will not ship because it is hazardous material

I purchased one of Jay's kits. With a little patence I was able to rebuild the booster. Jay's pictures and words are spot on. He's also a great guy with fantastic service.
