Zetec and brakes

Hey guys, riding off the back of the 'to zetec or not to zetec' post I thought I'd start this discussion without hijacking the original thread.
 
When putting a zetec into a mk2 , is there anyway of retaining the brake booster? Ive already been told no, but I was just wondering what others who have done the conversion have experienced...
 
Cheers
 
Nick

    i think you need to custom the intake plenum which you would anyway

    Why do you want to keep the booster? 
     
    Given the increase in power you'll probably want to upgrade the brakes and as you'll need to get the project engineered anyway it may not be that much more work to get a pedal box ok'd too.
