Mugello Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi all, On big single builds do people retain the idle up valve for the power steering system? I'm debating ordering one as mine is broken. (picture attached). I believe this needs a vac line before and after the throttle body to work?

Konrad Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If it helps, when I installed 1uzfe in mine, i got rid of this valve and just blanked a hole. All is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I retained mine, and I believe I have a spare on the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no issues or noises when turning wheels when stationary, revs drop down a fraction, but way above stall point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I used old valve, just cut top of it and welded it shut. Below you got youtube video with bolt being used instead of welding.
