[urq] 20VT 3B Power Steering

[Patrick Carlier]

I fabricated a custom bracket for the original PS pump .
Located in thesame area as the 3B pump was .
And IIRC a longer belt has to be used .

Once you get the pump installed , all the rest can be put back to working 
order .
Make sure to get the brake system back up to spec .
A vacuum assisted brake ona turbo engine is a bad idea , altough several 
people have a
different opinion about this .
But there is a reason audi designed the hydraulic system and choose not to 
use the vacuum
assisted brakes that have  proven it's worth for decades on na engines .

If you do insist on having a vacuum assisted brake , then get one of  those 
vacuum pumps
from a diesel engine .to power it .  Some diesels , ford transit fi , have a 
vacuum pump on the
alternator . Easy and effictive .
