I know this sound crazy. When I turn on my booster pump it pulls water instead of blowing water. Nothing has changed Wiring still the same. Has not been wired backwards. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Polaris booster pump

So this is a new issue. It was working properly before this?
Has the plumbing been altered?
The booster pump draws water from the return (line going to the pool) and then pushes it through a dedicated line to the pool where the cleaner hose is connected.
Maybe show a picture of the set up.

I worked fine last year. Nothing Altered. Blows out of line normal till you turn the pump on. And then it reversed flow
Maybe some better pictures would help.
The Polaris Pump has to pull from the return and push into its own dedicated line.

It appears the suction and return lines on the booster pump are reversed?
The top of the pump is the return line and it should go to the dedicated line to the pool. That is the line that appears to be between the 2 red handles. It seems to go straight down in the ground.
The suction to the pump should come from the return line going to the pool. . The return line to the pool is where that goes to that reducing adapter and appears to Tee into the pool return line. The photo of that where that connection is would be helpful.

Last year everything worked fine there was no changes to anything since then. Opened pool now water jet (for vacuum) pushes water out just fine till I turn the booster pump on. Then the line flow reverses and pulls water.
A better photo of where those 2 hoses connect to the plumbing would be helpful if you can post those.
Check shaft rotation.
From the back, it should rotate clockwise.
Remove the shaft access cover.
Post some more pictures of the plumbing.

It does look like it might be plumbed in backwards.
Maybe someone did something without telling you?
