Several years ago at SEMA http://www.semashow.com/ I saw someone selling Electric powersteerig kits for Street rods (main claim was cleaning up engine bay) If I recall they were using a rack from a Saturn Ion (definitely a saturn, not 100% on which car it was) It may be worth a look. I MAY still have my old show directories if nobody can dig up info on this. (if cheap I'd do the swap on the TDI)

On a side note:
A friend of mine removed his powersteering on his supra (turbo outlet hit the pump); he was involved in an accident and permanently injured his wrist. To this day he would tell you that the powersteering would not have protected his wrist, but I disagree (for more info check out the rock crawler guys without powersteering, they break thumbs, wrist frequently). All just to keep in mind, don't want to scare anyone out of pulling out the pump, but just that they be aware of the potential consequences.
