    Hello everyone,
    for a couple of reasons i stripped off the pas setup from my mk3, it doesn't looked too bad since i made camber and caster setting.
    It took me 5 minutes to realize that has been a mistake, lost almost 20mph on very fast corners for not feeling sure to keep up with fast direction changes lol
    Now i'd like to go for the EPS Opel Corsa setup, and i've seen here that i'm not the only one here that had this idea, but i have some question about it
    First of all, safety.. any non electric power steering column has been sized for a small amount of effort from the steering wheel, the dirty job is done at the rack level, are we sure that the extra force needed now (eps or not) is not going to stress and break up the cv joints on the column?
    Second, can be a megasquirt adapted to control the "effect" of EPA at different speeds?

    Thanks as usual :-)
