Hello, I have a 1998 eclipse gsx with a brake issue. I had a pair of ctsv brembos, cobra rotors, evo steel brake lines, and a 3rd gen eclipse master cylinder, arp wheel hub studs and decided to put them all in the eclipse. The brakes worked fine before installing these and I already had these parts so I said why not. I put them all on read some forums and watched videos, I bleed the master cylinder, I bleed the brakes (in order away from booster) and the brakes were firm and hard but as soon as I turned the car on and put it in reverse I had absolutely no brakes, not an ounce of pressure built up. I replaced the booster as well and nothing. I checked for leaks and nothing was found. I’m completely stumped
 
 
I checked the check valve and the hose from the air intake manifold to the booster it all looked fine, I even replaced the booster, maybe I missed a step? Is there a way to bleed these systems properly that’s different from the original systems?
 
The original and any system here is always to self-bleed the master on itself again, with TWO people of course. once you let off that pedal it's an open system, so allows air to come back in
