Default Power bleeder psi...

Ok so after my banjo bolt fiasco I went ahead and bled the system... I made sure that no bubbles were coming out of the bleeder valves but even after that when i tested the brakes, they seemed mushy. There is a dead spot when you first step on the pedal which goes away a little when you pump it a bit. I was told that I still have air in my system simply because I did not use proper pressure on the power bleeder to blow all the air out.

Now my question is, what psi should pump the power bleeder up to in order to properly bleed my brakes? I have looked in the service manual, tried going through some topics on here, and tried searching on s2ki but still haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone happen to know the psi to pump the power bleeder up to?

Thanks again

according to the instructions that came with my motive power bleeder, ...hmmm....

i don't have the instructions with me, but if I recall correctly, it is 10 psi, and then you increase it but no more than 20 psi.

sorry, when i am home i will look up the instructions and post again.
