That is why I asked. I see lots of different options, Astra, MR2, Volvo, just trying to find something local, and cheapish. Not in any rush, probably a winter project.

bahahahaha. my favourite quote:
"What part of Porsche Racing did you think is going to be cheap -ISH, is it the the Porsche part, or is it the Racing part?"

I never thought it was going to be cheap, just trying to spend wisely. I also said 'cheapish', not expecting there to be an extremely cheap option, especially for something I don't necessarily need.

Question for those who have done the conversion, do you use fluid recommended for the pump, or the rack? I sourced a pump from a 2017 Nissan Maxima, and it says to use Nissan EPS fluid, of course the stock Boxster fluid is CHF11s.

To follow up on my own question, I ended up going with a kit with the TRW pump, and I am using the stock Pentosin fluid.

here's an insight - if for a street car and you plan to locate the punp on the passenger-side shelf in the frunk, the trim panel for a RHD drive car (which has the brake booster on the other side) can be used to make the install look OEM.

I have one of those around, let me try again with this pump and reservoir (previously found I couldn't align the reservoir with the opening of the trim part).

The 3G MR2 pump is also rare and stupid overpriced these days. Ford makes one used in Mazda and Volvo cars, common, cheap, and lower in overall profile, friend of mine uses this on his raced 91 Honda Prelude.
Forgive my ignorance, who makes "Vauxhaul"?

I don't think the RHD cover will work, at least for where my pump is mounted. Here is V2 of the one I designed:
It's not terrible, but I'd like the top to be bigger. This maxed out my printer, so I'll probably break it into smaller pieces and glue them together.
