    Hello out there
    Do you know if an after market brake booster pump will work or do we have to buy OEM

    I've never been aware any aftermarket version existed. Are you seeing one available?

    There are no aftermarket ones available.
    If you're smart, you will get them from the dealer. You'll need the vin number so they can
    get you the correct one for your car.

    Too many people have had issues with going to a junk yard or other places.

    I believe the Hybrid Pit was experimenting with repairing them, but it fizzled out.
    I imagine it was too expensive to get the proper tools and parts. And the liability was
    likely also an issue, should one fail.
