You need to be sure you don't have any vac leaks in your intake manifold.
Definitely rulling out any brake booster failure, definitely think its a vacuum leak, however I cant find it

Brakes work fine(had my buddies with an evo test) guess I was just not used to them after not driving it for almost 4 months..

In any case does anyone know the best way to find a vacuum leak?
