I have noticed after having replaced both master and slave cylinders that the car runs fine and pedal feels normal, but once you rev on boost a couple of times it doubles in stiffness and stays so until you get back to normal driving for a qood while.
Have you still got the bomb hydraulic system? I wonder if somehow it has gone wrong in such a way to pressurise your reservoir / brake or clutch master cylinder? No experience of this ever happening, just based on knowing there is a shared fluid reservoir.

Vas runs a vacuum brake booster
I was wondering the same thing, maybe boost pressure getting into the system but no idea why that would make the clutch heavy..
What are the engine mounts like? If the engine is twisting excessively under high acceleration, the flexible part of the clutch hose may be getting squeezed against something or bent restricting flow. Does the engine move much when revved hard stationary? Just an idea

If running the vacuum servo conversion, is it possible for boosted engines to boost into the servo if the 1 way valve has broken? (there is a small round black and yellow valve in my pipework to the servo) Being a normally aspirated driver, I don't know if boosted cars are plumbed in differently...

has anyone any idea what that may be related to?
Replace one way valve to brake booster and add another in series to be sure. BTDT. I've also added a separate reservoir for clutch after problem with clutch pedal not returning all the way when used hard on track.
I have a vacuum booster and was thinking about the same thing as mentioned above, only couldn't get my head round as to how the systems could be connected.
I have Alex's kit to fit in the near future but I also have a one way valve to try fitting inline the current one just to test
Clutch lines have been recently replaced as well as cylinders so I'm happy to rule those out.
I've had the same on a hydrobooost set up, and now on vacuum, I get the same.
A good blast getting it hot up the motorway and the pedal bite point changes to being much lower.
Sometimes the problem stays there until morning, so it is not just heat related.
I'm suspicious the pushrod plastic bobble may be kippered, meaning the slave is over extending itself, allowing air in, or fluid out.
The other reason I'm suspicious of that, is there is a small fluid leak from the Bell housing despite being a new cylinder!
Just something I live with at the moment, one litre every 6 months...
