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.

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.
