Get a helper to apply the brakes for you and check to make sure that the pistons in the calipers are not sticking... whilst you are there you may see some other problem such as too much bulging in the flexible lines.

My understanding of the brake booster is that with out it it would just be harder to apply the brakes - no vacuum power assistance you see?
