Power Steering Removal

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

my tip is not to do it. plenty of people have done it, both switching to 1.8 manual racks and running without the pump, and nobody recommends it.

I loved the feeling in the FWD turbo with no PS. I could feel the road so much better. Sure its hard when barely moving... but oh well!

Just remember to re loop the power stearing lines back into the spot you removed a line. You dont want leaks and you dont wanna destroy your rack. Its easiest when the motor is out of the car.

You don't need the manual rack either. Our car that has removed PS doesn't have one.

Absolutely nobody recommends it? Right..... Stop talking.

Do just like carl said and you will be fine. If you want a better turn to lock ratio then get the manual rack out of a 1G with the 1.8 motor in it. With looping the lines on your current rack make sure you leave fluid in it, or you will have problems.

haha, such hostility. i don't talk to drag racers or ape-men; all the people i know and all the reports i've read from people i don't know (all road-racers, daily drivers and autox'ers), say not to remove the power steering, it's not worth it and manual rack offers no real gains in feel/performance.

nice touch adding the "absolutely", and i'll continue to comment on information i have, thanks! as such, nobody i know (added the otherwise-implicit "i know" for your retardation) recommends it.

Clearly It wont be as good as power steering...Hence why they made PS! I have heard that it is harder but noone is saprised by that. its less BS is your way and it cleans up the engine bay a little(if you care).
