I wanted to update this thread for posterity - FINALLY got my dealer to turn off Power Steering Plus last month.
One word for this "upgrade": Transformative
Before- super light steering, one hand or one-finger operation possible. Over boosted around town where sadly too much of my driving is. Net effect - made an already not terrific feature (991.1 electric steering feel) very disappointing and made the car feel too comfort oriented for me.
After - old 911 steering feel mostly restored. Two hands needed in parking lots, much more precision in parking and placing the car in corners, perfectly weighted in lower speed twisties, some of the numb feel restored.
Net for me is (totally subjectively) about 30% higher steering effort under 30 MPH. If you think you're 991 feels too GT, this is a Must Do change.
