[QUOTE="DJRaydiate, post: 16136819, member: 194287"] Hi everyone. I'd like to suggest an option for the power steering issue. Some Toyota MR2s and some Volvos have electrohydrolic power steering pumps. These units sit on the body of the car vs the engine and require little wiring (for the mr2 pump anyway). I'm sure there are other makes and models that have this type of pump as well. One would have to make or have some custom lines made to transition from the electro pump to the rack. Most hydrolock shops can do this if you don't have the proper crimps to make your own. This was a mod in the DSM community while trying to free up some hp by not having to drive the factory pump on an i4. Some grassroots racing people have also used these types of pumps building their cars. Just figured I'd try to help with the ecoswap discussion. [/QUOTE]
