Default power steering cooler.

I am in the process of turboing my DA and I need to move my power steering cooler in order to fit the intercooler. Should I do away with this completly? Or should I just relocate it?

What are the Pros and Cons that go along with removing it?

Thanks

I know! I read about all the people that have done that. I had a couple civics without it and I found it a pain in the *** for a daily driver. I do realize the feal of the road that no power steering gives but that is not what I am looking for. This is a daily driver and I would like to keep the few luxurys it has. Do you know what will happen if I remove this? Thanks

you can just loop the power steering and do away with it, i wouldn't suggest this if you are into autox or road racing tho

after rereading that i realize that i didn't make it clear, i meant loop the two ends of the power steering hardlines that go into the cooler

hahahahahahah, I guess your right. I am a *****, I love me power steering, too much to get rid of it. Its a pain in the *** to try and park in a tight spot without it. Or try and make an austin powers turn around. Hey if you get on here tonight drop me a pm with your aim sn again, I didn't get aim downloaded in time the other night. I need to ask you some turbo questions. I think I may have a sweet deal.
