raplacing it with electric pump 
Anyone know were can I get such a electric pump, pics, price, etc ?????
The following came from Andrew Burton's Peugeot Cosworth web page http://www.peugeot-cosworth.co.uk/carhist.htm
I will be visiting a Peugeot dealer to see which model (suspect the new 307 or 607) uses this electric PS pump.

The steering rack was initially Peugeot, using a left hand drive 306 rack turned upside down but this has been superceded with a rack that is used in American off-road championships but which has been modified in house. Power for the rack is provided by a PSA electric pump on the right hand front inner wheelarch, which works very well because it produces a constant pressure, and you still have power steering if you stall the engine!

One car, and I think it's the aforementioned corsa, has electric power steering. But it does not have an electric pump or a conventional hydraulic actuated rack. Instead it has direct electric assistance, there's some kind of electric motor built into the steering column.
There's some rally guy down in south wales fitting these racks into rally cars, I've seen a 16V KAD engined mini and a 16V astra engined mkII escort fitted with one. Works extremely well by all accounts.
Could you use one of these instead?

I am going to remove today the OE PS pump. Anyone know if I can use the car without power steering without damaging the steering rack ? ..... or do I have to completely drain the PS liquid ?

Yeah it would be 1410kg car, and if Paulo has the same as me (judging by the weight he does) he also has a much slower steering rack than you wussy impreza types ( ) so an armful of lock with no power steering requires biceps like Mr.Schwarzenegger.

However, impreza wusses would require more strength to apply the same armful of lock as they have to work against a higher gearing ratio... you legacy types merely need to work on speed... we impreza wusses would need more strength.
