So I change my booster last week, and drove the car this week, I have allot of braking power however the pedal feel really spongy, its just soft I don't have to press it hard to stop the pedal just feels soft. Anybody with a similar experience

did you change the booster or just the master cylinder. If you changed the booster what did you change it with?

By the way the 2 port 4 port swap would only be if you wanted ABS. Again not an expert, but that's the only difference is 4 port = non abs 2 port = abs. I would not think you can plug them either as the cylinder is built to be used by each application and will throw the entire system out of wack.

How did you bleed your brakes? The cylinder sits at an angle and it's important to make sure it's even when you are bleeding the brakes.

Don't you mean the 4wd N14? I've never heard of a 4wd N15 Almera/Pulsar...

Assuming you now have 4pot calipers the pedal travel will have increased, the stock 15/16" mc is too small, the only way to over come this is to fit a 1" or 17/16" mc but good luck finding one.

You can use a 2 port mc and T the lines for each side, but you will then need a bias valve for the rear calipers.
