Only just reading this. I thought that add on aftermarket boosters were fitted between the master cylinder and the rest of the system. So the effort into the master cylinder is the same as it was before assistance, but it is magnified into the wheel cylinders.
I've not seen anything like that and to be honest, i'm glad. Fitting a booster after the master cylinder could cause an imbalance across the various different circuits (if more than a single line) so it would make more sense to fit the booster on the master cylinder to increase the input pressure from the brake pedal. That way all lines get the same amount of increase.
