on the pwr steering just loop the lines coming out of the rack back into the rack.

on the pulse damper i would recomend the aeromotive FPR it has a pulsedamper built in so u don't have to worry about injector leaks like u sometimes get when u just delete it. also all rotary and any modded car should have a fire extinguisher u may not need it but when u need it you will be glad.

Rats nest isn't too bad on the N/A cars but block off plates and vacuum plugs and silicone vacuum hose for the stuff u still need banzai makes great block off plates i especially like the OMP block off kit. when u delete the OMP use smokeless ashless 2 cycle normally marine 2 cycle has both these i use quicksilver that u can get at any walmart. the mixture is 1oz. per gallon of gas if you took out the OMP. If u don't remove the OMP u can still premix u just use 1/2oz. per gallon of gas. just don't forget that u have to premix the whole tank the first time u mix and after that u only mix for that gas u are about to add.

u have an s4 which operates the 5th and 6th ports off exhaust backpressure so u can remove the air pump. on the s5's the ports were actuated by the air pump. with ur car just make sure if u buy a header that it is for the 86-88 N/A engine and has the backpressure tube for the ports. the racing beat header does but the racing beat "road race" header doesn't have the backpressure tube.
