Default Advice on brakes please !!

Hi everyone. My brake booster and server don't work anymore since my last turbo shit itself, I've upgraded the turbo but the brakes hardly work now. I stand on the brakes and they hardly stop me !!
I'm having trouble sourcing a new brake booster but have found a new one from a left hand drive S2, my question is, does anyone know if the booster can be made to fit the right hand side even though the vacuum pipes will be on the other side ?? Or is it as easy as extending the pipes .. I'm really stuck on this as I'm not sure whether to buy the LHS booster but I'm screwed without.... Thanks in advance anyone that can help !!

They bolt up the same to the frame and the joint pin is in the middle just like you say you will have to make the hose longer so yes should be fine dude
