boost and vacum lines

im just a little confused on the brake booster under boost. i kno in order for your brakes to work well it requires vacum, but wut happens when theres boost.

and will high boost pressure damage the internals of the brake booster?

thanks guys

hmm how often do you hit boost at WOT and are stepping on the brake at the same time?

Yeah, it's not an issue. Typically your off the gas when you're on the brakes, no?

Boost will not harm the brake booster.

a lot of cars have a check valve in the brake booster line. I know my 95 civic came with one.
