I recently took off my power steering cooler so I could fit my FMIC on my DA.. I looped the powersteering lines into the proper positions minus the cooler, the turbo is not going on the car for a bit now, so im not worried about the ps/fluid boiling, my concern is wether or not I have to bleed the powersteering b/c of the fluid that drained while I removed the cooler?

thanks,

mitch

It would probably help to make sure there is no air in the lines.

Have you used this for a while? Have you had any problems without the cooler? I am thinking about doing this, but don't know if I will hurt the P/S system. My car is a track only car (higher engine speeds) so maybe the fluid will get hotter than a street application. Anybody else have any input?

Thanks

 

I would just have the cap off, and have someone turn the steering wheel full turns left and right and make sure all the air bubbles come out.
