what is rack ratio on that? how many turns lock to lock? do you have link to what controller looks like? and do you hear motor in car?
My "92 Mirage hatchback has the factory power steering rack, I think it's 2.7 turns lock to lock, but it could be 3 turns, I'll check my new de-powered rack and see, the saturn vue steering column motor noise is almost non existent, you hear a slight hum noise sometimes, but it's not annoying, or noticeable when driving the car, and thats about it for sounds, and there are a few sellers on ebay for the controller heres an example link below. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Saturn-Vue-...ash=item465a71d2a8:g:NxQAAOSw-0xYT8G2&vxp=mtr
Honestly I think it's a pretty great mod, but the car handles vary nicely, and I have pushed it in some back hill roads just to see what it's like, and so far no issues, the assist is really quick to react, I initially thought It would be working hard to keep up with me... Boy was I wrong
it's pretty quick to keep up with the drivers input/commands especially when cranked up to full assist.I highly recommend this setup is well worth the effort. there was a little less foot room under the dash, but not too bad.
if you want to check out my install you can see it here http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/project-precious-my-new-car-project.500309/
[to save you time it's on pages 1 and 2 post #21-#34 are mostly about the mounting and what I went through to get it installed etc.]
