Love this build Cris!
I was thinking of using electric power steering on my new project, because I bought a 2011 gt500 engine, but the Ford rack that came with the pull out was broken and a new one costs $1500 and I wasn't sure how the ECU would work in a different car. Next I looked at the Flaming River unit that Matt from Anvil is running and realized it costs $6000 - now I think electric power steering is cool, but 6 grand cool? and that cost doesn't include a column or rack!

TurnKey has been playing around with using what I believe is an electronic conventional unit that adjusts pressure based on speed so the steering "weights up." I think it is an OE Toyota part that Porsche guys first started to retrofit.
