I wonder if there would be enough vacuum supplied

Couldn't do it with a turbo though due to occasional positive manifold
pressures unless you ran a separate electrically operated vacuum pump...????

    Most vacuum boosters have a check valve that only allows air flow one way 
and that is out of the booster. I am not sure what kind of pressure these 
check valves will hold.
    As it is there is very little room under the floor of the FC for the dual 
master let alone a vacuum booster. Now, if someone wanted to really try, the 
Hydro Boost would be the ticket. But I will say again, if your brakes are 
working properly you don't need any kind of booster on drum brakes.
