I am not sure if it will work, but you could try a smaller pulley on the Pump?? - not sure if they are regulated though...

106/saxo Electric system would probably do you. Wheel and tyre size will affect the 'weight' of your steering.

How much lighter is standard pas compared with manual steering?

True about wheel size,mine went lighter when I took the 15's off and put 14's on.

Standard PAS is lighter than a manual rack. Most noticeable when parking etc, when driving normally it's not much different IMO.

I prefer PAS on my GTi.

Good idea but sadly not, as there is a relief valve in the pump which regulates the pressure. To make it lighter you would need to alter this relief valve to a higher pressure.

Google' mk2mania' for corsa electric power steering conversions,tells you a bit on the website.Sells quite a few to people who rally.Just an option incase you can't find anything else.

Cheap option is to get a larger diameter steering wheel, narrower tyres and make sure your top mounts are in tip top condition.

plus a couple of more psi in the tyres

In agreement with the 106/saxo electric pump conversion.

 

I'm running this, and my front track is considerably wider than standard and this still works nicely.
