You could try to find a smaller pulley for the stock pump to increase pressure

It feels pretty good nice & tight with no steering wheel movement at all. Maybe too tight. I like it overall, I just want a little more power off idle.

I haven't thought about that. Smaller pulley would give me higher RPMs at a lower idle. I might try that before I buy the PSC pump.

I've heard folks with manual transmissions have a lower idle speed can have issues when turning at idle. You run a stick or auto?
Also, did you run a cooler or filter?

Auto. I think I'll get the PSC pump & see what it does. Over all I'm really pleased with it so far.

Please keep us posted - I'm thinking about going this route as well.

With the stock pump and 1.5 bore its not bad at all.. Very slow rpm quick steering movements it lags minimally. I have not felt the need to upgrade the pump or pulley yet though. I would reccomend a larger fluid container and or cooler though

Also - please post some pics on where/how you mounted this unit. What flip kit and relocation bracket did you go with (assuming you went to high steer)?
