If you’re able to fully depress the brakes that many times with the engine off, the master cyl is still going to the floor.
Noise is the booster I think.
This one dosnt go to the floor like the other one. It gets most of the way there then gets super stiff and I have to push super had and it slowly goes down.

Did you replace the booster?

If so, did you adjust the set screw on the booster shaft? if it's not set correctly it won't engage the MC at the right time. I've made this mistake a few times.
Don't think do?

Odd question... brakes are ... sub optimal. But good enough to drive while being carefull.
But the rubber seal on my master is on backwards. It actually seems to be the wrong one. I can't seem to find the correct one however. Could this be part of my issue?
(I've got a replacement mc coming in in a few weeks just need this working so I can drive around for a while)

Not your problem. Just holds fluid in. Someone probably swapped caps. Or gaskets and put the wrong one in. The cap is right.

Okay cool

I'll just keep some fluid on me while I drive. It leaks out the back a bit but I do have it overfilled.
