    It's been done, someone posted a pic here onetime showing a Saturn unit up under the dash.

    Do you currently have a Ross box or Saggy ?

    My '03 Mini Cooper came from the factory with it (been replaced under recall), and my VW Vanagon syncro w/Suby H6 has electric power steering from the '89 XT6 donor vehicle.
    It was a pain to swap in. I had to install the Suby tone ring (chopper wheel) in the VW steering column, adapt the electro-hydraulic pump along side the engine with its relay boxes, and use the steering computer box. I also needed a speed sensor on the speedometer to make it work. The amount of boost is speed sensitive. In hindsight, I should have adapted the original VW power steering pump onto the Suby engine.

    I've seen a few articles recently regarding using the electric steering system from a Prius for project cars.

    There is a guy on the 2CJ2a page that did a Prius box in his 2a. Looks clean and said works well with the Ross box.
