Everyone keeps telling me it's air in the system.

As soon as I turn of the car the vacuum pretty rapidly dissipates. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I was under the impression that the booster should hold vacuum for a while after the car is off - 2 or 3 pumps, and then the brake pedal should be very hard. It is still soft. Booster or air are the only possible things left as far as I can tell. I can't get inpa to work to bleed the abs, so it looks like next step is booster.
Any update ?
What fixed your brake pedal in the end?
