your intake maifold and the power steering is on completly different sides, find it hard to believe that you would have clearance issues. s5/s4/t2???
just use the search button ontop bar and type depowering steering or something of the sort. i think theres a thread in the faqs also.

you can either convert your power rack to manual (to get a quicker ratio) or just swap in a stock manual rack (slower ratio)

de-powering your rack the correct way:
