The reason why people say use the EPS system is because it's a quicker rack from lock to lock. I'm using the EPS rack in my build but removing the motor to make it manual

So your swapping your steering column for a manual one? As the motors not in the rack.
Some people fit te hydraulic pump from a 106/saxo,
Or swap to epas, it's not what's best, it's what you prefer.

i had power steering in mine then changed it to a Non power steering after a while and i prefered that
got the manual rack from a 96 Corsa i think... felt the corners better and feels like you have more control

Both power steering racks are equal in terms of 'speed', it's only the manual rack that's slower.
