Default Keep power steering or not? (integra ls)

I am considering removing my power steering from my LS. I am going to turbo the car in the next 2 months. I have most of my kit together already, and am wondering to the gains of removing P.S. I most likely wont take the pump and lines off, just the belt, so there will be no weight reduction aspect. SO what are the gains? Is it worth it in the opinions of those who have done it??? Lastly is there any advantage over having it on a N/A car as to a F/I car or vice versa?? Or is it just better for both?? Thanks!!

** This will be a daily driver, at least for now. I am gonna run 7psi, til it blows, then build and run 12-15 and it will then become only a weekend warrior. I know no P/S would be kind of a pain, but just want input!

If you have the choice, then I would keep powersteering. You wont feel the power increase and it sux not having P/S.

I don't miss it at all in my car. The only time you'll even notice it is when you're going about 3-5mph, and even then it's not anything to worry about.
