This is true. Manual brakes typically use a 1" bore. This gives more hydraulic advantage with more pedal travel as a trade off. The original booster bracket has a small amount of lever ratio also.

I suspect the OP has a variety of things going on. Small booster, wrong master and pedal ratio problems
