Power steering cooler removal

Has any removed the power steering worm cooler? It seems like a little bit of overkill but I'm not feeling like being a guinea pig...lol. Any thoughts yes I did a quick search but didn't find any obvious threads.

You'll likely boil the fluid. I used a small oil cooler on my old VR4 mounted out of the way since it also had that annoying goofy hardline in the way of everything.

Could just go full manual rack and delete all of the stuff...

+1 on a manual rack.

Hell, I looped the line and I still like it much more. A proper rack is on the list though.

As far as the PS line goes, it needs to be there. In fact, it is quite undersized (like most things on the FD) for continued aggressive driving. Many have incorporated an actual cooler for road racing or autocross. PS fluid sees a lot of friction and heat.
