On my Jeeps that had big tires, I overclocked the powersteering pump to boost power steering. That was done by using a smaller drive pulley. That helped a lot, but also required using better than OEM PSF. Ideally a full syn PSF.
It also required installing a power steering oil cooler in return line (like a small ATF cooler) and powerful magnet in or on PSF resevoir. It worked great.
I did all that on the instructions of a Power Steering Motor Sports instruction sheet and advice from one of their tech supp guys. They sold me the new, smaller pulley and a new steering gear box. My original steering gear box was worn out. So it was a repair and upgrade. It worked great!
The overclocked stock PSF pump held up fine with upgraded oil, cooler, and circular neodyneum magnet in or on resevoir.
I can't remember the details of the magnet brand or placement. I'll have to figure that out again.
I'm considering adding a super strong (neodyneum) magnet to my Buick's PSF resevoir. Any advice on where to install a PSF magnet or how? Also, does the stock resevoir already have an OEM magnet? If so, a strong OEM magnet or weak sauce?
I'm also open to other PSF filtration methods/suggestions.
However, I don't want to install an inline filter in the return line. I tried that in the past and it was bad news because it reduced return flow, which the pump audibly did not like.
