help me with my brake issue.

Replaced everything but the master cylinder, brakes are bled perfect, wont hold any pressure in pedal. It will build pressure if pumped but wont hold it. Thoughts?

Bleed 'em again, RR-LR-RF-LF. Sounds like either air still in the system or a faulty master cylinder piston/seal.

I agree..either Air or a faulty master..If you do it in the way that GO48 says,it will get the Air out./..Bleed the Hell out of it..Say 5 times a piece..

If there is a general poor feeling to the pedal, then it is usually either air or something on the master side of the system.

If the booster holds vacuum and the brake response doesn't feel erratic (touchy or non-linear response) then it's probably not the booster.
