Mitsubishi eclipse v-belt pulley style pump and a simple bracket to mount it where the AC compressor goes. Simple and over boosted. I can steer the car back from full lock while drifting if I choose to. I need to add a better than the factory cooler though as I just have the stupid "pipe" like a factory FC. It feels sketchy at first because it's so powerful but you get use to it in a couple days of driving around. The pump comes on lots of 80's and 90's mitsubishi cars and trucks. i got one from teh junkyard for $20 and made a steel braided an hose for the pressure side to the rack from the pump. Everything else is completely stock. I would suggest using the power steering switch if you don't want to raise the idle with the throttle while sitting stationary. The engine will shut off sometimes due to the load of the little pump. The ratio of the pulleys is nearly 1 to 1 which means the pump is spinning far faster than it was probably intended to. No problems yet with anything except heatsoak. A proper cooler will fix that. I've drifted at 4 or 5 events with this setup and never had a issue except on 100+ degree weather days and lots of back to back runs.

I thought the rack may explode but no problems yet. I used a S4 rack I had laying around. The rack with 3 fittings instead of two. The one with the tiny hole inside at the bottom of where the fitting goes is not needed. Block it with a bolt and teflon tape or whatever you want to do. So that it just has a feed and return. Makes the plumbing simple.
