It is basically is a piggyback setup and one can tailor it to what they want, not that hard to do either.
Ultimately it isn't really what I was after, I really wanted the full lock-1 turn so the suggestion of machining a new rack and pinion is a much better option. |
For quicker steering, you definitely need a new rack with a different gear ratio. This typically does make the steering heavier since there is more torque required at the steering wheel, but I wonder if the electric PS can compensate leaving the feel the same. Or if there's the possibility of overloading the motor and burning it out. I don't know and I don't think it will be an issue, but just something to ponder.
