Default Looping power steering HELP!!!!!!

I have a SI hatch and i took the power steering out and my car is hard as f*ck to turn its harder than i car with a non power steering rack


i took everything off

there are 3 lines coming out the rack (if your in front the car) there are 2 lines on the left one is bigger and the other its like a feed ad return and to the right of them is one line that goes to the top of the power steering pump

the 2 lines on the left i looped them i put a T in the middle and put a breather in

the line to the right i just blocked off with a cap

i have looked for weeks trying to find a write up on the internet i can only find old stuff with pics that dont work

i just need to know what lines to loop and where to put the brether



when i first did it i looped them lines with no breather and the hose blew off when i turned the wheel i put a brether in and now its hard as f*ck to turn


Please help

i have no clue of doing that also when i did my manual steering swap so i just bought a manual rack and installed it.

also, the manual rack is much lighter than the power one.
