Default Brakes with turbo?

Maybe I am a retard but I was looking at the diagram on Golden Eagle's site for the vacuum manifold. I noticed the brake vac lines that normally operate under vacuum, are now seeing pressure. How do your brakes function properly without the vacuum? Did I misread something?

*If I am retarded, just reply "yes, you are retarded." An elaborate flaming is not required!

How often do you get into boost while pressing on the brakes to stop at the same time? Probably never. When you are coasting to a stop and have the throttle closed, your engine is under vacuum.
