The brake booster is just a big surface area movable rubber saucer like thing which responds to vacuum being applied to one side of it which then helps push on the hydraulic piston of your brake system..... it does not produce anything... it is passive.... if you really do not have a container for vacuum then perhaps your electric pump is sufficient... but railroad cars, trucks, all the other cars with any brake boost... which pretty well means ALL those with any disc brakes... due to their lack of self energizing design... have the vacuum saved up for use when needed.
