Brake Issues...

I'm having an issue where when I attempt to do hard braking, the pedal gets extremely firm. I've recently bleed the brakes (it was doing this before and after); and ran nearly 2L through the system.

I think the issue is with the Brake Booster, or possibly the vacuum assist pump (if there is one). Another test I've done is to pump the pedal when I'm stopped. When doing this I'm able to firm up the pedal after one or two presses right near the top of the stroke. Then slowly the "boost" will build back up and 'power assist' will be restored. Lastly, when doing this I can't hear any type of pump running which I've always been able to hear in other cars.

Any suggestions?

Can anyone point me in the direction of the vacuum pump? If I know where it is I can give it a check.

Thanks
