I didn't unhook the lines, but tilted it sideways out of the way...almost upside down I guess. I just turned the key and waited for the fuel pump to finish priming, then just started it. Ran for about ten minutes to warm up the motor, then I held it at 2-3k rpms to burp the coolant. And yes, it gets louder when I turn the wheels.
My tech told me that its the pump for sure and that the stock ones are garbage anyway.

Yeah sounds like the pump is on its way out then. BTW have you ever added powersteering fluid to the system? Because that is a big no no. If you need to add fluid to the powersteering system you need to add ATF. I have known people to add powersteering fluid to the system to have their pump go out a little afterwards.

Sence you didn't unhook the lines then no need to worry about priming the powersteering pump.
