Default RE: no brakes

you bought the booster? they rarely go bad...you most likely need a master cyl..also check to see if you still have fluid and bleed the brakes ..do you have a vacuum leak?

+1 on what 2kwik said, I would suspect the master cylinder and make sure your pads are good in the front and back.

Vacuum does not control the amount of brake pedal you have, it just reduces the effort to apply the force to stop. If you have very little brakes, check the master for fluid first. Look behind the master where it bolts to the booster. Most times it the master is bad, it will be leaking down the front of the booster. Check the pads to make sure there is enouch material left on them, and calipers and wheel cyl for leaks.
