Buck, you might agree, better to address the issues which lead to a need fo=
r power steering rather than throw boost at it... ;)

There are several ways to introduce power steering to the Tiger,
=C2=A0
In the UK and Australia people use the vaxhual/holden/opel astra electric s=
etup mounted to a donor=C2=A0alpine top section of the steering=C2=A0column=
, very neat mounts under the dash and keeps all the stock components from t=

=C2=A0
There are also several people who have used hydraulic=C2=A0setups from mazd=
a MX5 (miata) and also some subarus... these though require a change in rac=
