Default Hydraboost Groaning , will this ever go away?

I just had a kit installed on my Mustang and the brakes work great but the steering makes a groaning sound and i get some minor pedal kickback

the shop went through all the steps to bleed the air from the system and i do not see any air bubbles in the pump reservoir>

now i just got home and pulled the cap and saw a bunch of air bubbles that broke clear in 2-3 minutes. it seems to show air bubbles every other time i drive the car.

i keep turning the steering left to right and no real help

does it take some time to really get all the air out?

i only have 10 miles on the kit so far and i am super happy how it stops i just want to solve this groaning noise.

I put a Hydroboost in my Wife's 75 Bronco.

Here are the bleeding steps I used when I set it up.

It shouldn't groan. What pump are you using is it up for the task of big tires and hydro?

Let it sit a little and double check you don't have any small leaks. Start by discharging the hydro with three pedal depressions. Cycle the steering S L O W L Y a few times and recheck the reservoir level.

When I first fired it up the return line fitting at the hydra boost unit leaked badly which I then fixed and now there are no more leaks. My car has a randals power rack and pinion which has a low volume high pressure GM pump with the black plastic fluid reservoir. It must be air still. I might try the steering wheel left and right circulation later and check. I leave my cap loose on my pump while I do this. Should I not? I just do not want to keep driving it risking burning up my pump or something

Do you have the return line T'd? What size reservoir do you have on it?

Yes its T in as the instructions suggested, not sure on the reservoir on this pump, its the same style pump all the rack and pinion guys are using.
