Unhappy Convert to electric power steering pump

I'd like to try an electrical PS pump on my VW Golf.

I just got a nice hefty PS pump on eBay - from a Peugeot 307. Has mounting brackets as well.



Just one problem - the electrical connections are a lot more than just the two power terminals....

There is a multi-way connector - which I assume is used to control the pump. Various speeds according to road-speed?



The only wiring diagram I can find online is not too helpfull, so I may have bitten off more than I can chew!

Can anyone tell me how pumps like this are generally controlled? Are they usually variable speed??

Having looked around on wikipedia, I suspect the Peugeot system can vary the torque available according to the requirements of the Electronic Stability Control system!!! Maybe I should look for something simpler.... ?

TIA
