Yes this is what will happen if the booster is not working. It could be a bad boster or vacume line, or vacume check valve. Shut the car off and crack the line going to the boster. If you get no vacume leak noise when you crack the line your boster, or vacume line, or check valve are bad. The booster could be damaged by a ruptured diaphrame, vacume hoses can leak and check valves can stick. If the booster is not working you would feel as if you have less travle in the pedal. But in reality you dont have less travel you really need to press alot harder.
