It sounds like you've done some thorough troubleshooting already. Since you've confirmed vacuum at the booster and there's no air in the system, it does indeed point to a potential issue with the brake booster. Before committing to a replacement, you might want to double-check the vacuum hose for any leaks or blockages and ensure the check valve is functioning properly. If everything appears to be in order, then replacing the booster might be the next step.

Hi GudrunHelga, are you an AI Chat Bot?

I'd like to add, " Determining whether you need a new brake booster for your Porsche Boxster depends on several factors. If you're experiencing symptoms such as a spongy brake pedal, difficulty stopping, or a hissing noise when you apply the brakes, it could indicate a problem with the brake booster. However, these symptoms could also be caused by other issues such as air in the brake lines, worn brake pads, or a brake fluid leak.

It's essential to have a qualified mechanic inspect your vehicle to diagnose the issue accurately. They can perform tests to determine if the brake booster is the culprit or if there's another underlying problem. If it is indeed the brake booster that needs replacement, it's crucial to address it promptly to ensure your vehicle's safety and performance."
