electric power steering pump

I contemplated doing the same conversion but ended up installing an inline cooler a remote reservoir and taped all the connections on the pump to AN fittings. it has been 2 years and I haven't had any problems

Huh? Punctuation much? What do you mean "taped all the connections on the pump to AN fittings?" I have no idea how you would tape any fitting for a line that carries any pressure, so can you elaborate here?

Cloudsurfer,

Perhaps he means replacing the Porsche crimped connectors with AN fittings, there had been several Caymans that had been modified with a cooler installed on the low pressure side of the system, some at the exit of rack (front) and other right before the pump (rear).

The pump gets removed, tapped and gets AN fittings, on the front I believe that you tap into the low pressure side of the rack (not 100% sure), and install the AN fitting with the hose to the cooler.

There is an interesting article (with pictures) written by Krokodil at the Cayman club (AKA Planet-9) with pictures, I have seen this car and the installation is top notch, however it was designed for a dual use car, however now it's dedicated track car and so far this mod has been reliable for almost three years...

Thanks Gilles,That's what I meant ,replaced porsche connectors with AN fittings and ran a remote reservoir to stay away from engine heat.

And no I don't worry about puctuation much, and my spelling is not all that good but I would have figured out that what I meant was tapped as in drill and tap not taped
