can anyone help me locate the brake booster? I have had a problem with my brakes ever since I bought the car two months ago, trying to fix everything mechanically before I start modding.
I know its either the brake master cylinder or the brake booster that has something wrong. Whenver I apply the brakes, the pressure isnt as hard and I can get the pedal to the medal without easily because there is barely any pressure, but the brakes still work. I checked the intake manifold vaccum hose and they alll seem to be intact but I just want to make sure Im checking the right hoses. Can anyone help me locate it so I can move onto next step which is replacing the booster if the vaccum hoses seem intact. Just want to make sure its not a loose vaccum before I purchase the booster.
 
The brake booster is located in the upper right hand corner of the engine bay, on the firewall closest to the driver's side. It's black and kinda shaped like a really wide cone. which is attached to a metal bar that has a line coming off of it to the brake fluid reservoir. I'd post a picture of it but my camera is in the fritz right now.
 
Its not realy that hard its just a pain in the rear i had to remove it when i did my swap u have to unbolt the 4 top bolts on the top of your pedal assembly inside the car i think they are 14mm or 12mm not too sure the brake booster should slide right out but you need to disconect the brake lines and possibly the master cyl to remove the booster
