Default Having trouble bleeding the PS and Hydraboost

Put about 30 miles on the car and the PS system is noisy. growls at idle and gets really loud when going lock to lock. I have tried bleeding this thing several times and I am sure I have air in there somewhere that just will not come out. Any ideas?

Let it sit overnight. Fill again in morning. It should automatically work all the air bubbles out. Do the brakes stop as normal with your hydro setup?

Are you using the 2 return ports on the reservoir?
If so you need the steering on the lower port.

I had the issue.
I let my car idle on an incline for about half an hour and I turned the wheel lock to lock and pushed on the brake every 10 minutes or so. just took time.

There is only 1 return port on the stock reservoir unless I am missing something.

Parked with front of car facing down hill?

Google hydro boost connection in images to verify line connections just to make sure.
