Sorry to resurrect an old one but this is a pretty common problem with a LOT of 2010-2012 SHOs.
Mike, did you ever get around to doing the swap? I am going to attempt it once things warm up in the spring. I just want to make sure all of the components fit and last for years.
Correct FoMoCo! It looks like Ford Part No DG1Z-2005-B is replaced by DG1Z-2005-D- BRB127- BRB137-FoMoCoSHO said:

Bringing back an old thread..
Owned my 2012 Ford Taurus SHO for a few years now and just heard about the 10-12 master cylinder and booster retrofit. I just installed parts from a 15 SHO and currently am having a vacuum leak around the master cylinder and brake booster connection. Is there a gasket that mates the two parts? Also after bench bleeding and bleeding all four calipers I'm still having a squishy pedal until about halfway down.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Did you install new, oem parts or ...?
there IS a seal between the MC and booster that if compromised will leak brake fluid into the booster, not sure about a vacuum leak tho.
did you bleed the calipers in sequence, with fluid topped off in the reservoir/cap open? have you tried bleeding the abs yet?

I purchased a used oem booster and master cylinder off of a parts car. Originally, i was missing the gasket that went between the booster and master but i've since located one. It looks like i had some air in the ABS module because it several hours of bench bleeding and bleeding each caliper to firm up the pedal. Braking has definitely improved over the 10-12 setup.
