LS1 PS Pump Upgrades Hi there,
new to this forum, I recently swapped my BMW an LS1, fitted a HydroBooster along with it and I've been having this issue with braking/steering as if there is not enough helping power. Sometimes it seems there is some air in the system but that's only when I try to brake and steer at the same time.
So, my guess is that the PS Pump isn't feeding the system enough quantity and pressure,,
My question is, are there any Bolt-On Upgraded Pumps?

Im not sure if this is your problem, but most hydroboost brake boosters prioritize braking over steering. Think of it like this, if you're on a steep hill with your foot on the brake, the power steering pump is sending most of its fluid to the brake Booster. So in that instance, you would have difficulty steering

Well, the pedal is semi-hard to press, and in my opinion very little braking force, then sometimes the steering starts to whine so there is some problem, are there some HB -geniuses at this forum ?
