This is actually kind of an easy question.

Just look at the auxiliary pulley bracket on the driver's side of the engine.
If you have / had PS, you should have two pulleys - top is for PS, and the bottom is for AC.
If the car did not come with PS, you're only going to have the bottom pulley.

It's unlikely that the PO would go through all the trouble to swap the auxiliary pulley bracket just to get rid of the "unneeded" PS pulley. :P

First of all, you're not a drifter.
Second of all, added steering angle is more important in an FC3S versus having PS.
This implies you have no idea what you're talking about.

Ha... Practice what you preach

Your first post in this thread was YOUR personal pereference... not everyone thinks the same why you do... or even care to hear about your personal preference

.....

and you assume to much

ha... now im not practicing what i preach... making an off topic post... o well I want everyone to see what I have to say...

The only PS the sucks is the S5 NA RPM sensing system.
It probably would work better with the electronics disconnected.

The turbos speed sensing setup works fine.

The S4 NA speed sensing setup works fine.

So I bought an entire used P/S setup minus the CPU for 165 shipped. Do you guys think this was an ok buy seeing as the guy also had to pull them from the car?
