Isn't your car a 2016 like mine?
I am pretty sure it can only be done with a 2018+ car as some models had electric steering.

Right, this makes sense I guess, the "hooks" are already there for adding it in?

3 major components need to be addressed. Obviously the rack needs to be changed . One if the big things is the engine bay harness needs to replaced with one that has the connectors for the electric rack on it . Then various modules in the car need to programmed to accept the electric steering rack . My car is a 2018 and shares a few modules with the demon ( same part numbers) I got a harness and rack from a demon . I'm not sure if the 2015-2017 cars have the option to active the electric steering.

On a plus note my new harness also has all the chiller connectors so I will be trying to adapt the chiller to my car next winter .

Fun fact for today .....

ALWAYS use a funnel when pouring oil in your car or chances are you are going to spill on your brand new ceramic coated headers !

Well boys and girls . I finally got rid of the factory pirellis. I told the tire guy to run them through the band saw a few times for me . .
I got a good used set of firestone fire hawk 500"s donated to me . They are about 60% . They are 305/35/20's . While not optimal I put them on my factory rims .
All I can say is WOW what a difference over the factory grease discs .

Thanks @Tae1974 for the unforeseen donation !

Well out for some more testing . A couple of things . At 38F my car makes 19 psi ( 2.30 Pratio) and at 72F it makes 18 psi ( 2.25 Pratio ) . These are peak numbers . Also I see 18 inches of vacuum at hot idle . My car made the best of 16 inches before.

And those blasted header collector bolts loosened up AGAIN ! WTF I need to figure out a new way of connecting the headers to the exhaust.
