no, I am not sure if the booster is good or not.
it is providing some assist, just not sure how much.
but I figured even if the booster wasn't working well. standing on the pedal, and I mean grabbing the steering wheel pulling myself out of the seat, both feet on the pedal would have locked it up, but it felt like I wasn't moving it any more at all.

so I want to check the master next by cracking a bleeder valve and see if it changes the pedal push distance. I will go from there to see what to do next.
