i just put power steering on my buggy and love except for when change directions quickly it gets hard for a second then is fine.im using a new charlyn with 3/8 hose on the pres. and return side to the res. then 1/2 to the pump which is a 1985 honda accord with 1000 lbs pressure (measured) howe racing says my gpm is to small but i dont want to spend $300 for their pump and pulley.has to b a v belt pulley for vw.thanks for any help.

Howe Racing says EVERYONE'S pump is to small to work. My Subie pump wasen't going to work according to them. Works just fine. You might need to go to a larger hose from the pressure side of the pump to the steering box.

I think the pumps off a older Toyota Corolla or Camry flow about as much as any small pump and still make high pressure. They can be had for cheap out of the junkyard, give one a try and if it works buy a good one.

I went through the same thing.. tried several different pumps. Finally, I got one from a Toyota truck 22R (VERY easy to find), and it works perfectly. You can turn the pump @ 400 rpm (with a drill) and it STILL works perfectly...
