Default hydraboost.........

guys got hydraboost on my shop car, at first i had the return t'd into the existing return which was kicking back the pedal, which i then installed a 2nd return in my reservoir above fluid level, as i heard the newer pumps have a few lbs pressure on the return which will get back to the hydraboost and cause issues.
now the car stops good, turns good but if you try to turn the wheel and stop, the hydraboost makes the steering wheel twitch, or almost like it consumes all the pressure for a split second so the steering has none?? do you guys follow me?
let me know what i can do
thanks

Make sure you properly bleed the air out by having the front wheels off the ground and turning the steering wheel lock to lock many times.

Also it can take up to 100 miles or so to get all the air out of system.

Mine acted weird for a few hundered miles but smoothed out fine. Paul had explianed to me once that it takes a while for all the 'micro bubbles (his words) to purge.

Make sure the Hydroboost return is on the straight side of the tee.

I also had "crosstalk" in the beginning, but it has gone away during the summer. If it doesn't, your PS pump could flow too little to feed both systems at the same time.
