Default sn95 mustang ls swap hydro boost question!

Well I've searched and cannot find an answer! Is there any way to bypass the steering on the hydro boost? On a budget and want to try and keep what I have but I'm not using the power steering part of it or am I stuck with doing a manual brake conversion? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You could try splicing the pressure and return, that usually go to the steering together. Not sure what would happen, but it might be worth a try. Use a fitting with a small hole in it so there would be a pressure drop from the pressure side to the return side.

Hydratech's system is not exactly the same as the Ford but very similar and they require power steering. I would careful with plugging or restricting the high pressure side going to the rack. Maybe call Hydratech they might help you.

Thanx for the links! Yeah I did a little more digging and on one of the Stang forums found a thread and they pretty much said you gotta use it all or go manual! Plus I'll have my family in the car sometimes and don't wanna take the risk of something going wrong! Thanx again for the input guys!
