Accordion Pipe

my power steering makes bird noises when i first start it up when thegine is cold theres plenty of fluid though. could this be my problem? its connected but could be clogged up.
Not likely. All this does is let more air into the intake when your steering is hard over - the extra air increases your idle so that your car doesn't stall.
Sorry for stealing the thread, but I was wondering if you guys know if the non turbo power steering pump also has the hydraulic valve, because I havent checked the pump, and i also had to plug the lower hose on the accordion pipe, because I never knew what it was for. I had never thought about that, because when I did the N/A to turbo swap I used the non turbo power steering pump, and since I get a bad idle at times, could that be the cause of the bad idle problem? thanks ricardo
The pumps are the same, it was the steering racks that changed on 89+ Turbos (Progressive Power Steering), and therefore all supras have that idle up valve.

You dont have to use it. When I went NA-T I also used the NA pump and ZI just removed that vac line to clean up the engine bay. It made no difference since I ran a ~1k idle anyway.
Not to redirect the thread but any idea where the line on the bottom of the charcoal canister goes to?
It goes right through the bottom of your can to a hole the the frame.
I just kinda fits in there.
