Power steering issue

[gtxracer]

What is your thoughts on Swepco 715 Power Steering fluid instead of using any brand ATF?

Good fluid, PSC and a few other companies swear by it.

Guys, I'm new here, please help me understand when installing a reservoir why you need to disconnect the factory cooler at all?

I have a RPG reservoir and never had anything disconnected, not sure what you are referring to.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. So I watched some YouTube PS pump/reservoir swaps and a number of them (Like raptor therapy channel) capping off the front radiator fittings when installing the reservoir up front. He states the installation manual tells to do so. I understand it gets some cooling, but wouldn't it be better with the radiator still hooked up? By radiator I mean the AC condenser and PS fluid cooler in front of the radiator.

They are probably installing a bigger cooler is why, there’s a few members on here who have added a larger PS cooler.

They didn't! That's why I am confused. The new reservoir goes in front and has fins, but I don't think I would want to say 'no' to the extra cooling off the factory cooler in that case. Anyway, I wonder how large the factory cooler is. I understand it's shared with the AC condenser(?) I am looking into the best solution to avoid blowing the PSP. Very occasional spirited driver.

best solution..... no donuts with the steering wheel at full lock either direction.
