NO, installing only booster will not help, as brake fluid lines & components like servos are not designed for higher pressure rates exerted by the boosted system.

you have to replace complete kit including master cylinder & have to make arrangments to fit booster+master cyl. assy. in cramped hood space of M800, going to be a costly affair & doesnt makes sense.

I think using hight performance brake pads/liners makes more sense here in case of M800.

EDIT: not to mention a vaccum pump/compressor driven by engine to feed the booster diaphgram.
