Re: should i get rid of my power steering??
common knowledge, if your engine is turning anything but your wheels you are losing power.
how much is debatable, ive heard 15% for a/c but it all depends on the car. i dont have a/c or power steering.

if you don't need to do it to make space for a bigger turbo, it don't make any sense to remove it for 1 hp.
I just removed mine because I went with a topmount manifold and turbo with s cover. so I had to remove it or I would not be able to run this setup.
I did the looping of the lines thing and use a motorcycle brake reservoir for the breather. its works fine and is not as hard to turn at a stop like I thought it would be. I am use to it now, and have no problem with it, after all its not my daily driven car.

Keep it unless you really need to get rid of it for fitting issues. All of my boosted setups had none and I was fine with it. Plus, my arms are so strong I could rip your heart out of your chest with ease. I also like to pick up your mom like a six pack and throw her around the motel room until she gets all hot and bothered.
So either or would be fine.

heres one for ya, everything in my car is manual, including the gear shifter, steering, windows, mirrors, seats, locks and etc. keep your creature comforts, you will regret giving them up if you get rid of them. i prefer not to have them overall. less electrical bullshit to deal with.

I pulled mine in my 2000 Si which wieghs like 2800lbs with me in it and I dd it with no problems at all. After a little while you dont even notice its not there. I agree, the less electrical complications the better I like everything manual as well.
