Here is what I was told. The speed of the fluid, if not slowed down will cause a spinning and aeration if you have everything sealed up. This was in my case, i replaced the orifice and the noise went away. So problem solved with aeration.
As for the bad pedal, I have tried quite a few "tests" today. I switched the return lines as Dr Boost stated, same ordeal. Same pedal. I re bled today two more times and made sure my basis was covered with air in the lines. Same pedal. I adjusted the rear brakes to a real nice amount, same pedal. I took the belt off...cleaned it...let me tell you why. When running alum pulleys the belt gets a layer of alum from riding the power steering pump pulley and idler. So that made a little difference, not much....nearly the same pedal. Drove the car today for a bit. thank God it was warm....to try to purge any bubbles from the steering circuit....then re bled the lines again...same pedal. I also took the return from the HB and plugged off the T as I described above. I had my kid apply brakes as i held the return into the reservoir. I had a little stream of fluid on pressing the brake pedal, then a spurt when letting off the brake... then apply again....a few drips....little if no fluid,,,, then a spurt again of fluid when letting off the brakes. I think this is normal so I am baffled once again. WIll know more when I call Jim and Hydratech on Monday with my test results. Upon driving the car this is what I experienced that makes me wonder if the HB if getting enough flow. When braking...and turning slightly the brakes seem to lock up and brake better. Its like the HB gets an additional amount of hydraulic pressure that allows the piston to push the master cylinder more since the power steering circuit is pushing fluid.
All I know, this is one hell of a diagnosis....learning quite a bit here.
