I got the kit a while back,running Manual rack on my S5 TII.
I want to go back to Power steering.
Is there a way to do that,since the Sensor bracket uses that side of the engine?

i have this kit with the hall and am trying to plug in values to the haltech sport 1000. when i apply the rx8 trigger, the tooth values don't change to represent what your instruction page represents. does the 1.13 still support this function?

Here is a quick write up on how I got mine to work with my re-located power steering:

Lack of Haltech Support for 20B / PS2000 option
Howdy all,
I'm a new user to the forum and came across this discussion via Google searches while trying to find a solution to problems my long time friend is having with his FD Rx7.
I've been working on Mazda Rotary's since about 1991 and was the owner and head mechanic of my own performance workshop for many years.
For a long time I swore by Haltech ECU's and would rarely use anything else, but as the years went by, I instead found myself swearing at them more and more often.
It seems to me that nearly every Mazda I have ever set up with a Haltech using direct fire ignition has given me nothing but problems. In all cases, the factory CAS has been used.
I could go through and describe all the different vehicles and situations but this would be more like a novel rather than a post on a forum. I realize what I am saying may sound like nothing more than a sh*t slinging session but in reality, I just can't understand why this issue has gone on for so long??
This week I helped my friend start his 20B PP Rx7 for the first time. It is running a PS2000. Something I was a little unfamiliar with as I am now an advocate of Link ECU's. Anyow, about 2hrs into the running in and basic tune on the dyno, the engine stopped. First thing I did was check the spark with a timing light. To my total shock, no spark! Next step, check laptop while cranking.... No trigger signal.
Well, we went through the usual checks, wiring, connectors, internals of CAS. Tried playing with trigger filters and confirmed all base settings. Nothing seemed unusual . Tried a fresh battery as by this time, voltage was dropping off from all the cranking. Still no life. By this time I was pretty convinced based on experience that the ECU had decided to not listen to the CAS and I said to my friend - I bet by the time we have finished loading the car back onto the trailer by hand, the CAS will have cooled down and your car will start again. I wish I had bet money on that because guess what.....
So the search began...... Then I found this incredible high quality trigger system that you guys from FFE have manufactured. Wonderful I thought. Problem solved!
Errr.... Incorrect!
As I read through the pages, I learn that despite the aforementioned company knowing damn well, the frustrations Mazda owners have experienced over the last 30 years with the systems issues reading reluctors, throughout all evolutions of the range of ECU's, they still refuse to come to the party and offer customers the flexibility needed to have a reliable ignition system
I guess he should have listened to me and purchased a G4+ Extreme.
Bloody Fantastic ECU that Extreme. Only problem I've ever had with one, was I accidentally had the settings on Aircraft mode - System looks for two ECU's to fire spark which meets air safty regs. Yes, that's correct. Recognized as good enough to fit to aircraft. I think if I was using a certain other brand of ECU in my airplane, I might be making sure I had a good parachute!!!
