The first thing is your bleeding procedure, furthest brake from the master then work progressively closer to the master cylinder. If the brake pedel is still soft or nothing then your master may be loosing pressure back to the resiovoir, i.e. replace the master cylinder.

Ok lets see, brake booster has nothing to do with this, so you replaced that needlessly, anyways heres what you need to do......BLEED the brakes and bleed it lots, you have opened the system a number of times and likely have air behind the fluid your seeing as clear. Put at least two jugs through it and start at the rear passenger side wheel, bleed lots here.

Do you have ABS?If you do your HCU is probly bad.I have run into this before.I would Make sure that you have bled properly not just gravity bled.If you still have no pedal than it has to be HCU(if you have ABS.
