Go to the Cayman board to see all the issues on how the PS unit fails or leaks at the track or what happens when that fluid gets dumped in a hot engine compartment. A fellow had his car burn at a DE when the fluid ignited. Not sure if it was a total loss but enough damage to put his car out of commission for a while. It may not happen to all tracked cars, it will definitely get your attention if it happens to you.
You may loose some of the steering feel with the new unit, but I think the others gains out way that negative.
LOL, there are other ways to combat a fluid line that runs too close to the exhaust manifold. It's hardly the right "fix" for that issue.
