All good.

The benefit of the EPS is that you take a component that driven off the engine so it frees up power. It also only runs when it needs pressure so the over heating ends and free up cooling space for the radiator.

Steering feeling hasn't changed as the rack is still the same. Just plumbed into the electric pump.

Thank you very much!
I like the sound of all this and will be doing this over the winter
Whatever it takes to free up power and have less heat.

Do you have a dry sump? Are you routing it back into the reservoir or using as a breather to atmosphere?

Also, thanks for turning my attention to these guys. That sway bar…

No dry sump.

My understanding is that it "drains" back to the bottom of the oil pan.

Where is the inlet back into the oil pan?

Sorry, meant on the oil pan. I don't think there's a way to recirculate unless you add a port. But your team is obviously more than capable of creating something.

I'm doing the same with a catch can but venting to atmosphere and plugging the recirculating vents on the plenum.

Here is the Vent. The bigger opening.

They said it can vent as is, tube to some where else outside car, or back into plenum.

I think I've seen someone recirculate back into the bottom of the pan via a banjo bolt on the oil drain plug.

Yes the oil recirculates to the oil pan via a banjo bolt and braided line.

The small AN nipple is the oil return
