GTUs power steering pump

Does the GTUs use the vehicle speed sensing or the engine speed sensing power steering pump? I've searched and found dissenting answers.

Everything else is 2-port or engine-sensitive PS.

BTW, the extra port is for bleeding the pressure off by the PS computer as the speed gets higher.

Also, is there any difference in the steering racks, or belts(or anything...) that would make them non-interchangable?

The pump cores are the same, but the valve & tank accessories are different.
Also the control box under the dash near the steering column is different.

According to Mazda I was wrong, but on all the GTUs models I have seen, they were engine speed sensing.

The pump/valve assemblies are different. The vehicle speed sensing assemblies have 3 lines, while the engine speed sensing assemblies have two lines.
