Hello, I am working on my MK3 LS Swap, I have everything finished except the connections between the power steering pump and the rack. I need the sizes for the ports on the rack so I can buy a converter for them. I've seen the ones sold by drift-motion, but that is for a stock 7m pump, not my application. I do not have the stock steering lines.

At the steering rack I changed the pressure port to the braided hose Driftmotion offers. And this is, assuming to Driftmotion, also M17 x 1,5:

Pretty good, had this engine in it for 3 years, with plenty of milage, only problem so far is I killed a rocker arm (probably caused by a high rpm mis-shift) limiter is at 7000 rpm, and its been there a few times.
I had plans to do a tone of little updates to the drive train and check out the engine internals this winter, but life's really getting in the way!
