You can overheat your power steering by drifting, hard track driving, ... doing donuts, etc
basically, any time your steering wheel would be held at full lock, or back and forth, etc

and yes, I have heard about one WRX that overheated it's power steering pump from doing donuts.

yeah, I guess. Try and see if you can find the Subaru part number. I know that's probably hard to do, but if you car, maybe George can look it up.

Plus, how much is that going to cost to ship? $50 shipped is ok I guess. Plus, I don't see you doing donuts either Dan.

For $50, I don't see why not.

My question, is how are you going to notice any gains? How often do you check/change your PS fluid? Has anyone (other than Sean) jacked it up?

Despite my skeptical nature, I'm all for it. I'd say, "it can't hurt." but that would be tempting fate in a way I don't like... but it's not my car.

I agree. WHO NEEDS STUFF INSTALLED? (other than Dom) I'm always happy to come, hang out, hold some tools, look busy, and learn about my (your) car.

When I leave Hawaii, I'm going to have to do a lot of this crap myself, with no i-club support, so I need to get smart, now.
