If the system is not using up fluids and the master cylinder is new and bleeding works, this is something that requires some head scratching.

Check the booster to pedal push rod free play. Ensure it has a little movement of the pedal before the push rod moves.

If vehicle is equipped with ABS, it could be the one causing the problem.

You would need to remove the ABS control unit and install with a proportioning control valve. however for some areas it is an offence to do such modifications so ensure you are not breakinng the law by doing so.
