steering which SAABs use. I once put a power steering pump on a c900 accidently (it looked exactly like the old one) and steering was super easy. I could steer with my pinky which was typical of American cars. I can see how this could use a lot of power. As Jerrit pointed out, our systems probably don't use that much of the engine's power except when turning hard. Also, it seems like Nick should use a larger ps pulley (or a smaller cs pulley) since it would turn slower provided he can find one. Of course, like everything else in engineering, the math has to be done.
