It's to the right of the booster, the black plastic box towards the firewall is the control module. But I still don't understand the thing you said about the power booster moving !

OK so you were talking about when the MC was removed? Because no booster moves 2 or 3 inches like you described.

Update: Still no brakes, but brought it to a mechanic friend of my dad's, I gotta try to find a power bleeder and try that. He figures there is just air trapped in the lines.....I'd be pissed, but happy to

Are you sure it's up front? I had the wrong wheel cylinders on the back (too big)and the pedal was mush and practically went to the floor. My brakes still aren't 100%, but I got the pedal to firm up by making sure I had the correct size wheel cylinders. What a PITA.

I had to push my petal to the floor to stop every once in awhile. I figured I was low on fluid, which it was filled it up and it happened all over agin. When I had new brakes installed they said they adjusted the rears, so 3 weeks later this happens. It turned out to be a rotted line over the gas tank. Its crazy cause it did not leak fluid anywhere. I was like wtf?
