Power Steering

[QuA]

Does this use a ton of power on the car? If I crank the wheel either left or right side all the way my Boost gauge's vacum almost approaches zero. Its like turning A/C on

I'm not sure if anyone else has this. My vacum looks good normally otherwise.

Re: Power Steering

But you are doing this under no load and staionary right? If that's the case yeah it puts a strong load on the engine because you aren't in boost rage so it's just a 1.8 four working without boost. Plus it is easier to move wheels that are rotating, ever driven a car without power steering? You get big arms quickly!

I believe that Unorthodox Racing makes a pulley to lessen the load of power steering on the 1.8T.
