The most common fix is to install an under drive pulley. That slows the power steering pump pulley which seems to reduce the temp of the power steering fluid. The under drive pulley won't affect the power steering.

When I had to replace the power steering lines (due to going off track, hitting debris, and ripping them out from under the car), I don't remember any SS upgrades available. That doesn't mean that they're not available but I couldn't find any. I suppose someone could fab them or have a shop custom fab them.
