Finally got around to installing a power steering cooler on my 98. Refilled with Royal Purple PS fluid. Shot the reservoir with a temp gun after doing several minutes of low speed turning to really work the pump hard. Weather was upper 80's and sunny: before = 218 degrees, after = 187 degrees.

Yep, right behind the air dam. I took it for an aggressive ride on the dragon shortly after and no pump whine or anything. Prior to the cooler install, on the dragon, the pump whined through every turn and the fluid overheated to the point it expanded and overflowed out the reservoir cap. Very pleased so far

I finally got everything done and got it on the dyno. All mods are in sig. Before D1X installed it made 440hp, 399tq. With 9# boost I gain 185 hp and 100tq. Total was 625hp, 499tq. Has a very safe tune with a Snow Performance Stage 2 Water and Methanol injection. Waiting for the track to open and get some new 1/4 times.
