I'v never seen it done before. THere is really nowere you could put it, especially with a turbo kit in there. Why do you need power steering?

I don't have power steering on my car. You hardley even notice it at speeds over 5mph. You will only really notice it when parking. Even then, it's not that bad.

if you live in the city or do a lot of parallel parking, keep the PS.... I had a no ps hatch and my newest DD is a PS hatch and it's like winning the lottery (if you parallel park a lot).

Top mount kits are only for show... a Quick4 or ramhorn will flow just as well or better, and there are P/S versions out there.
