Depends to what car you compare Michael.

My 1971 also does not have a booster, but the brakes are working very well =
and with good =E2=80=9Cfeeling=E2=80=9D.

Other parts of the brake system may well contribute to the need of a firmer=
 pressure than expected like:

Brake calliper pistons may be not moving freely

Master cylinder may in need of a service =E2=80=93 overhaul

Brake pedal pivot point not working well=E2=80=A6

Who has added a brake booster to their MGB or MGB GT which initially did no=
t have one?  Do you have pictures of where you mounted and how you did it. =
 I just put new pads and rotors on my 69 MGB GT.  It still takes a lot of e=
ffort to apply the brakes.
