Going from a depowered rack back to a powered one, I was relying solely on muscle memory. Before I could give very little input and feel what the car was doing. With PS I felt like I was giving very little input but because it felt so numb I got nothing back. The only downside I can see with the depowered rack, besides increased effort on higher speed entries and super technical tracks, is it can literally injure you. The first time I slid with my manual rack I dipped off the road. When the inner wheel caught the lip of the concrete it snapped the wheel back and I tried to catch it. I'm not kidding when I say it sprained my wrist. Had a friend who broke his thumb in a similar situation. You learn to just let go if the wheel goes sporadic like that. The only other times I noticed that happening was if I tried to pull a quick 180 to turn around
I use a restrictor in my high pressure line to increase steering feel.
