As above. when you turbo or supercharcharge a N.A engine what do you do about the vacuum fed ancilliaries (brake servo etc...) are there electric ones on the market

There's still the same manifold vacuum, when you close the throttle, which is the usual state when you use the brakes!

they use a one way or "check" valve on the vaccuum hose

Depends if it has a one way valve in already or not - if you do then yes.
Alternative is to either switch to pedal box with master cylinder appropriate for non-servo assisted braking or as you said running another vaccuum source (which I can't say I've seen unless you were to adapt a diesel type, some cars it is on the alternator, others driven off an engine belt)

AFAIK, all vacuum servos have a one way air valve!boombang wrote:Depends if it has a one way valve in already or not - if you do then yes.

Pedal box or not, there will still be vacuum in the manifold when the throttle's closed.
Seems that pretty much every car has a one way vale so just leave it as it is.
