I really liked the hydra-boost on the Astro Vans..... (chevy) Much better pedal feel. If you can get all the parts required to go that direction, I don't see that having a downside.

Here is a factory rebuilt for $100 plus shipping. Double check fitment before ordering because I didn't know if you had a Sportsman or which VIN letter for your engine you have.

Wearever Vacuum Power Brake Booster 54-73771 - Advance Auto Parts

If they happen to not have any in stock and used is okay for you then go here:
