lend me some advice with my brake issue
here we go. with the car off i can pump the pedal and it will progressively stiffen. this is right according to the manual. i can hear air hissing and that is supposed to be vacuum i guess. so pedal is great with the car off.
with the car running there is some serious travel. when i press the brake i can hear a loud hissing coming from the pedal area. wtf? no leaks that i can find.
so far i've rebuilt the front calipers and bled the heck out of the system. any suggestions are appreciated.

I think we have a winner. The vacuum line on the intake side -from the UIM to the line running across to the booster. The manual says it should only flow one way, mine flows both ways with ease. It even has the arrow on it indicating which way air should flow. Just cut it open and there is nothing in it. Is there supposed to be a check valve or something? Where the heck could whatever was supposed to be in there go? Near both ends the inside was shiny but thats it. Anyone have experience with this???
Thanks for the advice macdaddy and mad_7tist

after talking to the dealer my car has had the recall so i checked the *other* line and it seems to have a working check valve. has anyone ever had a brake booster go bad on them? is this hissing noise accompanies by excessive pedal stroke a symptom?
