Rack should be the same, though I think the 16v pump could be slightly different, they pulley on it iirc.

Oh yeah, that too. IIRC, a saxo EPAS pump can be used?

Hardy going to make a massive difference for the effort put in to getting it set up.
Does it not take power away from the engine to run the pump like everything else ?

power steering = good for parking, wank for ragging it.
non power steering = the opposite way round
i prefer my nova's steering, i even have a work out with 3 point turns.
