Did you pre bleed the master cylender?
If you installed it and did not bleed it the you have a hell of a lot of air in it
Bleed the master, and all the wheels

I guess I should answer that bleeding the brakes question a little further...
there is a little valve on the back of each brake cylinder that is about a 5/16" wrench and looks like a grease fitting... you need to have one person in the car and pump the brakes while you crack this fitting loose... dont forget to keep adding fluid to the master cylinder as some will come out when you loosen the fitting and the brake pedal is being pumped... when nothing but fluid is coming out tighten the fitting and move to the next wheel... remember you are trying to get all the air out of the line so you may have to do this a couple of times... do this for all 4 wheels... now set the fluid to the proper level and your brakes will be fine... If you have any more questions message me...

Hydro boost only helps the person push on the brake. Going to the floor there are a couple of reasons rear brake calipers stuck, brake master cyl. has a internal leak, or a bad leaking brake hose dripping on the ground. Good luck fix it or park it!

Drive very, very slowly.
