Is this the intermediate shaft that I need in order to connect to the power steering rack?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-944-Turbo-Power-Steering-Rack-Linkage-Knuckle-/160480059997?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item255d5b625d

I'm putting together the peices I need. All I've got is a rebuildable pump so far.

Yes, that should work.

You will need a pair of these too:

Just be aware, the steering knuckles on the PS setup are bigger and will interfere with the A/C compressor unless you make some significant modifications to how it mounts.

Thanks Dan. I frequent your site often. Not sure I'll need your brackets though as I tend to fabricate instead of buy... when I can at least. If I feel lazy though, you'll get an order from me. LOL!

Any ideas on where you plan to mount the pump?

Between the AC compressor and the alternator. I've got the coolant overflow tank from a 944 ready to go on. Once that's out of the way, I'll have a better idea on what needs to move around. Dan has pics on his site of the brackets that need modifications too.

Yeah, you really have to fiddle with the A/C brackets in order to get the compressor up high enough and out of the way. I ended up changing where the brackets mount to a different hole on the block...don't remember the details offhand, but if you can't find it documented here, let me know and I hunt down the details or post a pic.

I see this thread here about modifying the AC compressor bracket to clear the rack's intermediate shaft http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=27207&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=power+steering&start=15 but I never did see pictures of the completed installation.

Dan, are you still selling these? The link http://garage.ideola.com/prod-PS.html does not work.
