Some like them some don't. I have heard they are very twitchy on hardtop roads. Also they put all the torque thru you steering rack and the "U" joints on the steering shaft unless you direct connect to the rack. I use a ram and servo style and like that concept much better.

What did you modify on the pump. Curious minds want to know.

I did a combination of things to my Subaru pump. and not sure exactly what worked because at the end I removed a burr that could have been causing misreads.

I took the pressure side hose off and removed a bigger nut that holds in a spring and BB. It is in a valve and hard to pull out but a needle nose plyer worked. It comes apart but I put a burr on it trying to get it apart. I drilled out the port behind the BB a little bigger,,,replaced the spring with a weaker one ( actually remove a coil also ) and found a smaller BB. All this or part of this led to a much better pressure. Before it was like I had no pump at all.
