Default Power Steering squeal and bleeding

I am at my wits end with my power steering pump. I am on pump #3 and still having issues. I have followed CVF Racings instructions to the letter on installation and bleeding. I have turned the wheel left and right, lock to lock over 300 times. I have drawn a vacuum as high as 28 inches, and turned the wheel lock to lock more times than I can count, both with the engine off and with it running.
The pump is now quiet and smooth at idle and running up to about 2300 rpm, then it starts squealing very loud. My top speed is about 42mph before it gets loud.
It will hold a vacuum all day, yet I still can’t get all the air out.

What am I doing wrong?
