Rad pipes you have to change & doctor, but the PAS cooler you can keep, you have to tweek the pipe a little, but it does fit under the rad (or it did on mine!!).

Removing the cooler is a bad move as the fluid runs at a stupid temp believe it or not....... you can get PAS coolers that use the engine coolant to cool the fluid, so that just shows you the temp this stuff opperates at!! you are looking at arount 90 - 100c!! so with out the cooler you are going to overheat the steering rack resulting in more ware and slightly sloppy steering responce

Bobbit - yep front bumper was not removed to complete this.

gandyrx - nope you will need to remove rad to reposition,you will also need to play with the hoses to get them to work ie cut and rejoin( i have just bodged them for now,but will get decent ones made locally) and yes i could of kept the ps cooling pipe but bent it so much trying, i didnt like the angles it had so just removed it.

jonofd3 - ideally would of kept,but car ran all day sat at pod,lock to lock drifting and had no probs with temps from any fluids

Interesting!

I have that IC, I take it you got someone to weld that mounting bracket to the IC?

Any pics of the hoses from the rad to the engine?
