100% correct on that. That is why you put the bypass tube in and the breather, it actually lets the P/S rack operate with more ease then it would normally with the pump off. Granted, a manual rack would be best, but on my car, these was so little difference that swapping out the racks was hardly worth the time and money. I guess it all boils down to how confident you are with doing mods and how comfortable you are with driving your car like that.
