I have emailed Turn One a number of times inquiring about their tuning abilities.


"for a higher steering effort that is consistent, we would have to make changes to the valve in the rack. The cost to do this would be $1,000 including the rebuild. You would have to dictate how much effort you would like.

For a performance oriented vehicle I would recommend upgrading the power steering pump as well. We can rebuild and upgrade your factory pump to reduce horsepower consumption, reduce fluid temperature and have a higher pressure capacity to handle the higher wheel loads that track use produces. The cost to rebuild and upgrade your pump would start at $200, if any hard parts need to be replaced then the cost would go up accordingly."

When there is a will, there is a way :cheers:

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. They do seem a knowledgeable company. True expertise is so hard to find.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but something like the R-D Racing Camber Brace should help the feel too.

Yes, but it makes working on the front of the engine, or adjusting
the front end alignment a real PITA!
