89 Max ABS Pump Over Ride

So far its not going so well. I put T splitters on the front and rear pipes from the master cylinder. The front hose goes to the front brakes and the rear go to the rear.
The problem is after driving the car for about 5 miles they lock up. I'm thinking the brake fluid is getting so hot its boiling and expanding causing more pressure to build up and push on the calipers.. This would only happen if the valves in the master cylinder weren't opening to relieve the pressure.. eh idk anymore..

anyone done this before/have any ideas?

1. we have covered this discussion before
2. I believe you need to change the master over and that you have it plumbed wrong.

Right, well I just went through and looked at all the pages for anything on over riding the pump and i didn't see anything. could you post me a link??
i'm very sure they're run correctly. so if i put a non abs master cylinder on it that will fix it? i know the current one only has two pressure lines but a non abs cylinder has four so it has the perportioning valve in it already... that may be my problem... hmmmm

I also believe they are run diagonal not front to rear
