I meant convert to non-power assist. I guess the pinion might wear faster without the power assist since it doing all the work.

Sorry, been away for a bit.

Nope, just disconnected the belt from the pump and finally removed the pump and lines to save weight; works fine. At high speed the car is very stable and it snaps out of the corners nicely.

BTW, I would not have one of these cars any other way. Every p/s pump I have seen from Alfa is problematic and a waste of $$ IMHO.

The pumps are problematic, yes, but you can easily rebuild them for about $20 in parts. Mine works like new.
