S5 power steering lines help
Alright guys, so I was getting around the connecting the power steering lines on my jdm t2 swap and I noticed the rack coming off the car has only one line coming up to the pump but the pump has two inlets... The second line on the rack goes to the cooler lines. So do I swap in a pump with one inlet? Or do I have to swap the entire power steering? Any help would be awesome, thanks guys

If the car had power steering on it and it worked,then just use that setup.
No need to use the JDM pump that came on the engine.Use what was in the car,just attach the pump to the engine and call it a day.
The PS setup is in many variations so you have to figure out what you have and post it or post pics if possible, if the above did not help you.

All S4 cars, and S5 turbo cars had PS pumps with two hard lines on top going to the PS rack.
S5 NA cars have PS pumps with one hard line on top going to the rack.
All pumps have an outlet on the side of the reservoir that circulates fluid through the PS cooling loop up front under low pressure.
You want the rack that is in your car and the pump/lines to match, obviously.
