Traditionally, this vacuum was supplied by an engine-driven vacuum pump. However, with the much smaller engines in late model vehicles and the use of turbochargers there’s simply less manifold vacuum available to power a brake booster. So carmakers have had to add an electric brake booster pump on smaller engines, engines with turbochargers and even EV … Read More
