Whatever happened to the write-up on the MR2 hydroelectric power steering pump? Any update on that setup?

I haven't completed it. I had started to use the setup from the SW20 and realized it was going to be a wiring NIGHTMARE. So I ditched the work I had started and began again with the ZZW30. It's an all-in-one setup. The reservoir, pump, motor and electronics are all in one nice package. I got as far as building a bracket to mount the pump and ordered the plugs and wiring pigtails for it. Then I stopped working on it to move the radiator for my liquid intercooler (it wasn't getting enough air flow where I had placed it originally). I stopped half way though that little detour because winters in Kansas are cold and crappy and haven't really touched it since. Once it warms ups, I plan on finishing up the intercooler re-location and once I get all the bugs worked out of that, finishing the power steering pump.
