...there is no dot 10 fluid?
besides its not the hardware that matters so much, its just what fluid is already in it that matters, dont mix fluids. that said I doubt you will want to buy a new abs unit (even if you can find one thats new and empty of fluid)

the reason i was asking this was if everything is aftermarket and new lines hoeses ect why could you not put in a higher dot rated fluid in
i was just curious since i do know the higher rated dot brake fluid has a higher boiling point

There are DOT3, DOT4, DOT5 specs... each having higher boiling points...
But beware, DOT5 is partly compressible (I am told due to it being silicone based)...
so use DOT4.
