Default Power steering pump upgrades?

Has anyone tried the West Texas Offroad power steering pump modification?

If you have what is your opinion? In other words does it help the steering with larger tires without going to hydro-assist?

It does. Drilling the fitting gives pretty good performance boost in low rpm power. A steering cooler should be added with any mods though. My pump really started to sound unhappy.

Thanks for the response.

After you added the steering cooler did the pump sound better, or did you have to replace the pump?
