How are you bleeding the system?

Also are you seeing any bubbles?

Are you leaking anywhere?

did you add brake fluid to the master cylinder before you mounted it to the booster? If not, you may have air still in the master cylinder. I had the same problem. Also , the fitting located above the transmission where the line goes into a banjo type fitting, you may need to bleed from there too. Getting all the air out is the hardest part of the job man, just be patient.

Yep, it takes a very LONG time. I just did mine last week, and I was afraid I needed a new master since I had no pedal pressure after pumping for a long time...then finally pressure returned.

haha same thing happened to me in my s2k. i thought i could get it without recycling clean brake fluid (the stuff pumping out) well my arrogance resulted in 3 trips to kragen for brake fluid. also due to a small leak in the slave, thankfully all is well now

It takes FOREVER to bleed the clutch..... My 5th Gen slave cylinder took almost 15 minutes....
