Hi guys!

On my C4 -96, the brake booster is broken and need to be replaced. The only booster I can find is ACDelco for about $389. Now, I have seen replacement boosters made by MBM for about $130 (http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com), but not any that seem to fit my car.
Do you know if any earlier boosters is interchangeable with 96, or do I have to bite the bullet and buy the expensive ACDelco?

I was thinking that this one might fit PB9513 from MBM

I  "Googled " for your specific year/model and got some "hits" on reman boosters in the $150 range and they have a core charge---they are specific for 92-96 (the years of the LT1) so I doubt that anything earlier would work. Some of the vendors on this site may list one and ebay might be another option.

Thanks for the good advice. Ebay is a good source, but as I am living in Sweden I need the seller to do international shipping...

Shipping would be a problem, for sure!
The PB9513 from MBM definitely will NOT work, if it is the one shown. As far as I know, Corvette was the only vehicle line to use the particular boosters used on them(C4 cars)....they will not interchange with other GM vehicles.
