So I need Boxster buddy help....

Bought the type that uses the air compressor to create a vac that drops fluid into a resivouir.

Worked great. Pulled a lot of dirty fluid through. Kept res full, always closed bleeder before stopping suction.

Now pedal drops 2/3 way down then starts some braking. Second pump works great and solid. At a red light it does not drop pressure. Once moving, it needs that second pump each time.

Also had front rotors turned.

Ideas??
