Jeff, how's your P/S? Ive seen a bad pump literally shut down a motor, making me think it'd locked down.

Yep, Jeff the jumper is not needed....I added that to the write up when someone else said it was necessary....I've never added the jumper.....sorry for the confusion.

the power steering works great no effort to turn the wheel, and it doesn't happen unless i try to accelerate while turning i guess i'll go remove the jumper and see what happens

I have no control over the write up in the how-to-pages, as I don't have access to change them...

I'll see what I can get done about it though..

****ing insane!!!!
i can't believe that they didn't offer this as a factory option it makes the car feel totally different on the whole. it goes from a semi fast luxo-sports-coupe, to somthing actually competive with sports cars, i love this swap. best money i have ever spent period
