can anyone please give me some advise. just bought a 94 L reg corsa gsi fitted with a c20xe. when i got the car home i put it on my mates ramp to change the wheels and discovered a power steering steering rack that isnt plumbed up. as you can probly guess it pulls all over the place and is a little tricky to turn when sat stationary.
would i be better using just a manual rack?
plumb the power rack up?
use a electric set up off either a saxo/106 ect??
if anyone can shed me any light on the matter i would really appreciate it.

I enjoy no power steering to be honest 
An EPAS rack could be your best bet purely because then you can wire it in and if you don't like it you just have to pull the fuse on it

I had a epas rack with standard manual column. Epas rack is the quickest you can get apart from quaife. 2.7 turns lock to lock. On an Xe corsa it was great! Best value for money mod i did!
