I think you mean master cylinder instead of throttle body.

If you are seeing air in the M/C you may need to get a new one if you can't build up any pressure. If you are hearing air when you press on the brakes you need to replace your booster.

It sounds like you need to try and bleed the system again.
Did you take the brake system apart in anyway?
Do you have pressure in your brake pedal?

The air coming out of the throttle body is caused by the brake booster diaphram pushing air back into the intake manifold.

sounds like there is a problem with the check valve on the vacuum line at the very least.

If you took it off, maybe you put it back on backwards!

try checking the one way valve that supplies vacuum to the booster it is the hose with the plastic piece in it right in front of the booster
