I had to replace my brake booster a few years. At the time I was able to source an exact ATE OE unit from Parts Geek. Price was reasonable then - not sure what you'll find now.

As best I remember, you'll have to remove the air cleaner box, master cylinder, ABS unit, and "swing" the fuse box out of the way in order to gain access to the booster. Since you have to bleed the brakes after reassembly any way, it's an opportune time to flush the system. Be careful in removing/replacing and adjusting the brake light switch. It's a rather cheap little plastic switch.

Not rocket science, but for me it was pretty much a full day's job.
