Just thinking. Since the brakes in a normally aspirated car are typically assisted by an engine-vacuum energized diaphram, how are the brakes powered with our boosted motors? Is this typical with other positive pressure motor applications?
 
Vacuum is stored in the brake booster with a check valve.
 
I thought they were powered by our foot!
 
Thanks. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
