I think not for weekend driver, but that's me. To much $$$

So its basically an electric rack and pinion. Wonder how many amps its draws.

No. It is an electric assist that goes inline with the steering shaft. It works on R&P and gear boxes. It only draws amps when you are actually turning.

If I build another car I will give electric PS a serious look, especially the unisteer stuff.

That's tempting. I have been thinking about front suspension options to make room for a modular or FE motor down the line. I have just about convinced myself if I go install rack and pinion it will be an electric power rack and pinion assembly.

I think there are threads on here about using the column from a modern car with electric sterring, Chevy Cobalt or something.

I wonder if you can tie this into a rheostat or some output from MS3 that would adjust the input voltage based car speed. I know some of the high end manufacturers do that so you have increased assistance at low speeds for parking, and decreased assistance for speeds about 30. Now that's tempting...

You could, but it would be easier to use a relay to simply turn it off at a set speed by killing power to the unit.

Actually the one the op is speed sensitive according to the link posted.

Worth noting that the above vendor is cheaper than the one I first posted because, Not bolt in, you need to buy couplings and make brackets. Again you get what you pay for.
