Tifo, thanks for trumping the most technical post I've made in a long time. How am I supposed to get any "cred" when you go and post up an uber-post like that right after mine?

This was an article I had written for the still-born 944 webzine that never got off the ground earlier this year. I also have photos with captions to go along with it, I'll try to scrounge those up for it. I have a few other articles on other mods done, maybe I should just post them up on the DIY section here on Renn as it looks like there will never be a 944 webzine.

I took all the PAS off mine and looped the hoses together. So far 3,000 miles and it's fine - didn't mess with shims or anything and there is no problem with it.
It's really heavy at low speed so I have a electric assist motor ready to be fitted over the winter but I will have my EMS turn it off at something like 20mph. I think even the PAS rack ratio is too slow for track use and once I have it working with the electric assist I'll be looking for a quick rack.
It is not a good street car mod though.
