New to the car, no power steering?
Hey guys I just got an s4 turbo II, didn't come with power steering. What components do I need to assemble a complete power steering system? Pump and rack?

Did someone remove the pump and loop the lines or is it a TRUE manual rack?
Oh,by the way,you may not like manual steering in the City but when you get up to speed you can track that car like it is on rails.

We used to just take the belt off and leave the lines hooked up to the rack. It kinda sucks in a parking lot but other than that I never noticed not having it. But yes a pump and rack and lines should fix you up.

If it came without a Power steering system Originally,then it could be a True manual setup.
If you post pics of the Rack,Take a Under the Hood shot..shoot a clear pic of where the Steering shaft meets the rack.That way someone can tell you IF it is a Manual rack.
If not you need this to convert:
Front steel Cooler lines,Hi pressure lines,Bracket and adjuster,pump,pulley,belt,The RACK and its affiliated brackets.
Then inside under the Driver's kick panel,there is the Power steering computer.
You have to find out which rack you need as there a couple different ones,2 port,3 port.
