Default turbo and breaks?

ok so i looked and looked and looked but cant find an answer,

if you run a turbo you end up loosing the vacume for your breaks, on my GN it comes set up where the breaks run off your power stearing (Hydroboost), is there a way around it if your running standered vacume breaks, or would i have to do a conversion?

the conversion is for my 1990 miata 1.6L

and how often do you plan on being going full throttle and using the BRAKES at the same time?

Even if you do feel the need to be in boost and use your BRAKES at the same time they are VACUUM assisted, not VACUUM controlled...you will still have them, you just need to push down a little harder on the BRAKE pedal in your car marketed towards 40 year old recently divorced women and *******.

stupid ----.
