Why would you want to remove it?

Be daft with all that torque steer and wide wheels.

Just keep it

I'm going to say ditch the power steering and fit a manual rack and an epas column. best of both worlds

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

The pipes reach fine if you mildly tweak them a touch.

Pipes do fit fine, just need a conversion bracket to go on the front of the block and a smaller belt.

if you remove the pipes you will need to replace the rack for a manual one

You can run them with an inactive PAS rack. Great once you get going but horrendous in any other circumstance!

IMO, wack a manual rack on there

cheapest way is to run a small pipe from both outlets on the rack, in a Ushape back to each other. or get a manual reack from a scrappy and swap them over. piece of piss with the engine out

if you run without the pas connected...

do you just connect a U piece between both outlets on the rack? or just leave them
