this should be in the tech section but anyway...
theres no need to upgrade the booster unless it is stuffed, your wanting an upgraded master cylinder. you can bore it out but this is not ideal as it makes the material thinner making it more prone to 'balooning' this is unlikely but not worth the risk when there is a simple solution.
a STARION master cylinder is what i use, its the easiest option. the recess to the piston is the same as the sprinters so the master cylinder itself bolts straight on. there are two pipes that connect to it. the rear pipe matches up almost perfectly while the front one will have to be fabricated. this i did myself with some copper brake line and a flaring kit which you wont have, so a brake shop will make you up a new front pipe probably for around $15. this modification will make your pedal much firmer and more responsive.
