Better steering rack?

[vw_85roccoZ400 at hotmail.com (Brian Spinney)]

Care to explain in detail how you can achieve using a power rack without the 
power assist?  I am interested trying this in the 84 rabbit!

My 85 Scirocco 8vT has manual steering and I love it.  I would like to get 
as close to the same feeling if at all possible without switching racks and 
spending much money.

I have heard of some auto-x doing this in their rabbits and golfs.  I was
wondering what the response was.

Does the rack still move freely like the standard rack, or is it a lot
stiffer?   Did you leave it dry and block off the connector lines, or did
you keep the lines,  add fluid and just remove the pump? (wondering about
longevity of it)

Also, how jumpy is it.

I do have an extra power rack out of a 16V that should bolt right into the
mk1.  I may just have to try this out.
