My first post here but have experience with Turn One. I currently use a Turn One box on my 70 Buick Skylark. I wanted to improve the steering feel and take some weight off of my 70 Skylark. For me Turn one is a 50 mile drive so went up to see the shop and talk with Jeff. The shop is not huge but very professional. Jeff used to work down the road at Saginaw Steering (now Nexteer) so has more background with these gears than anyone. He went over what would work for my Buick and some of the things I needed to correct. One of the big problems I was having is could not get all of the air out of my system. Jeff focused on the remote reservoir I was using. Seems that the reservoir design was much more important than I was aware of. My reservoir did not have baffles and the return from the pump did not go into the bottom of the reservoir. I ended up having Lee build a reservoir for me because Turn One did not have one at that time.
Next they checked my Sweet pump on the pump dyno so we knew that it matched the steering box. Finally they gave me a good deal on a box they had in stock that had a little surface rust (a few small spots that I just painted over) and have not looked back. Steering feels great now.
If you get a steering box from SC&C, ABCperformance and I think DSE you are getting a Turn One box. Many Nascar teams use the Turn One box. Cannot recommend them enough. Hope this helps.
