Changing the booster wont help.Its the camshaft that produces vacum for your brakes,either you have a crazy ass cam in it or you have a very large vacume leak somewhere on the engine itself.

That's about the norm for the "E".

How much vacuum do you need for power brakes. I also have an e cam and find the brakes don't work they way I would expect.

If you crank up the car and mash the brake pedal do you hear air escaping from the pedal area? If so, you need a new booster.
