hi. there are a few folks selling electric power steering pumps for big $ in the classified section, so i thought that i would get this info out (tried to mention it in the for sale post - a big no-no apparently as i was immediately deleted). SO, the pump that porsche motorsports uses for electric power steering is a TRW unit and the SAME pump that vauxhall uses in the astra and zafira. i quick trip to the ebay uk site (ebay.co.uk) shows them going for all of 29 gbp (probably under $50 usd shipped). for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-A...cAAOSwaB5XmHEP compare the pump in that listing to the $500 pumps being sold here and advise if you can find a difference. also realise that the $500 units are NOT necessarily porsche motorsport unless specifically stated, so that additional $450 isn't even buying you bragging rights. if interested i can tell you the colour scheme for wiring (or search, there is info on 986forum) and what is needed to connect to an oem rack.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yeah man post it up!! That sounds very interesting to me.
Uh, I pretty sure my pump is mechanical driven and they are about $80 new, or less for used. https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...ring-pump.html
He's talking about retrofitting an electric pump to the 996. Save weight, save a few HP on the engine, etc.
here's the thread ... http://986forum.com/forums/performan...g-project.html if you want to go manual, there is a link in this thread to a shop that will convert your rack for you: http://986forum.com/forums/general-d...ring-rack.html
