I checked the local scrap yards for vacuum boosters and they want $250 to $350 which is not worth it for a used part. I looked around for alternatives and found at Usp motorsports a TRW for $135USD ! ... but out of stock. At ECS tuning $216USD... and out of stock. Then I found the Cardone 53-2682 - Power Brake Booster rebuilt for $147 CDN. And according to the listing this unit fits the 1998 VW Passat and several Audi A4s of the same era.
From what I see the new VW / Audi parts are about the same as third party Porsche parts, so not worth bothering with unless you have a VW or an Audi parts car. Has anyone tried these?
