I still need the pipe from the compressor housing to the IC side pipe. It should be a short one. Like maybe 10" and curved. I can take a pic.
Hmm.. Ok. I thought you had it! Did it come with anything?

The only benefit is to lose the extra weight and open up teh engine bay. Makes changing plugs a breeze. But honestly removing the powersteering in a street driven car is retarded. I knew someone who did it and I think it made the car shitty. I drove it and the marginal engine bay space gained was nothing compared to the shitty steering. Thats my opinion on removing power steering. If you want to work the **** out of your fore arms then that is a good mod for you.

I'll have to agree with Dave to an extent.



The benefits gained from removing this are marginal. Sure you get the "feel" of the road, but you also get the fight. I'm a big guy, and it still pisses me off occasionally to back in and out of little places. Anything over 15-20 mph is fine though. I chose this route as I HATED that goddamn line under there, and it was actually cheaper to do the manual conversion than to have the rack fully modded for manual function.



I cant imagine drifting or recovering from a little slide is very fun either.. I did a few donuts and almost snapped the wheel off because I lost grip and the force of the car spun the wheel at warp speen till full turn. NOT fun.



But, There IS less crap in the engine bay. I do like that.. But not sure it's worth it to most people.
