Default Power or manual steering....

Was looking at the engine compartment of our Formula project tonight and was wondering if a manual steering rack is an option. Doing a single turbo setup and any extra space would be nice.

Anyone else ditch the power unit and what did you use?

I used the madman rack in the link above works great. If you ever have a problem with anything madman sells he will fix it. That is hard to find these days and his parts always fit.

I am thinking of switching also. If I do it, it will be a Madman's rack.
I have his TQ-arm and the quality of the parts, customer service and workmanship is second to none.
