There is a check vavle in the system all ready so you will not have boost on the breaks but it will be harder. Is it a turbo or a SC

The power brake booster will hold vacuum while boosting because of the check valve. It holds vacuum when the engine is off too.

As soon as you let off the gas, the engine will start making vacuum again too. So unless you are boosting and braking at the same time, you should be good...

you're not commonly trying to stop the vehicle while you're hard on the gas....
