even when it's off and you step on the brake a couple of times, there's no brake pressure?!

are you sure you installed the brake booster and master cylinder correctly?
are you sure you know how to properly bleed the brakes?
How long did you spend bleeding the brakes? Where you doing it alone or with assistance? When you replace the master cylinder, I noticed that it takes longer to fully bleed the system, you may want to keep trying.
Took me about 10-15 minutes to get my brakes right when bleeding them after installing the master cylinder.

did you bench bleed the master cylindr first? Always bleed furthest caliper away from MC to the nearest, and keep repeating until pedal pressure is adequate. Just keep doing so and you'll get it!
