    The quest for tight steering...

    Nope it's not something you can check without pulling the rack down, it's more a fluid problem than a mechanical one, often a new Teflon will fix it if the tube isn't worn too badly (mine was trashed to the point you'd need a double think teflon then it wouldn't have gone into the unworn part of...

    noise filter purpose?

    Here they're more commonly called a noise suppressor and date back to Wire plug leads... (in the "old days" you could "hear" the engine RPM's through the radio without them) Modern cars have them everywhere usually on anything with an on/off load that "might" cause an electrical spike as...

    The quest for tight steering...

    The Tube gets a wear groove from the Middle Piston Teflon and no amount of seals/gears is going to correct it, the Tube is available from Toyota but it's one of the few cases where Sticker shock stopped me replacing it.

    noise filter purpose?

    Same same, it's just a cap. There's another from memory in the a pillar near the fuse panel for the rear window demister. (there's a few others hidden in the car)

    8.4:1 CR vs 9.2:1 CR

    Low boost high static CR has a LOT of benefits for a DD car, as long as you can keep it out of detonation they're a joy to drive.

    Race Ready 7M

    My understanding after talking to a Rad specilist here is that the DMM is totally inaccurate for this type of test, I had a hell of a time finding an analogue MM to buy :) (already own a Fluke DMM)

    Race Ready 7M

    Below 50Mv is desirable, you can't do this test with a DMM though due to the way they read has to be an analogue.
