TRW Electric Power Steering Mount - Porsche 996
Ditch the hydraulic pump. Keep the steering feel.
Whether you're dropping in an engine that was never meant to spin a Porsche power steering pump or just chasing a cleaner, simpler front end, electric power steering is the answer and this is the bracket that turns it from a fabrication project into an afternoon install.
The mount bolts directly to the upper ledge of your 996's frunk using the included hardware. No welding, no measuring, no guesswork. The TRW unit lands exactly where it needs to be, the install takes a fraction of the time, and the rest of your frunk stays usable.
Why go electric?
- Engine swap freedom — K-swap, LS, EV, or anything else without provisions for the factory hydraulic pump. Delete the rear pump, lines, reservoir, and fluid entirely.
- On-demand assist — the TRW unit only draws power when you're steering, not every second the engine turns.
Every mount is cut and formed from mild steel right here in the USA, then finished in durable black powder coat that shrugs off chips, moisture, and the general abuse of a car that actually gets driven. This isn't a universal bracket massaged to sort-of fit — it's designed around the 996 frunk and the TRW unit's mounting geometry.
