I figured a pump capable of higher pressure may be more capable of providing the higher flow rate when needed.

Are you all unning your power from the alternator's feed out. I know this is how late astras are powered as when a mates alternator packed up she lost power steeing.

I'm kind of hoping SW20 MR2 bits are the way to go as I might have a spare to sell soon.

i just dug this thread up because i wanna put an electric pas pump on my e30 as it would be easier and cheeper than retro-fittin a standard one.
if we all think an mr2 pump would work good, then ill buy yours off ya that is if u still thinkin of gettin rid??
