[V8] Overkill Hydraulic pump?

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Hey, just was pondering my/everyone's hydraulic problems, and was  
wondering if anyone's tried to lower the pressure in the lines(pump  
is rated higher than many, and was wondering if a lower flow might  
just work fine/leak half as much.  I was @ the Commercial fish/boat  
place today and was walking down the Hydraulic isle and saw a bunch  
of valves/gauges   that I almost bought  I'm getting ready to refill  
the system on the 93, and as all the hoses weep/leak, and the rack  
leaks/pisses, was wondering if I could put a valve in to slow the  
flow/hemorage, and still have proper  steering/brake......wondering  
if anyone's done it......This whole line of thought started as a Audi  
tech told me the"new" pump was just too much for the  
"system".......All I want to do is drive the beast and see if I can't  
live without it/hemorage another $2000 into car #2.....(it needs a  
bunch, but it runs/idles perfect).....Who's restricted the flow,and  
how much?........Thought putting a Hydraulic valve/gauge might be  a  
good idea while empty . Reason brake system was empty(unknown  
previous), was rt rear hose was severed(completely).....was planning  
to order it, but Schucks had an option that was $9.80?Beck- 
Arnley.....it it fits, and it worthy, will buy all 4 as they're all  
cracked ., will post as it will show up WED, and the front's were  
CHEEP also......Willing to use the 93 as a guinea pig for  
anything.....Just want to drive it..... I
