[DeTomaso] Brake booster vacuum

[Will Kooiman]

And the air actually comes from inside the cabin.

When you press the brake pedal, it lets atmospheric pressure into the cabin
side of the booster, which provides the assist.

I've always wondered if any of this air is filtered.  After all, it
eventually goes into the engine.  Fortunately, it doesn't suck a lot of air.
