Message	driving the oil pump that supplies the rack, is noise. EPS operates when needed, elctrohydraulic is no different from the OEM mechanicalsystem, except for what drives the pump. The whine of the electric pump is going to be on all the time. Not sure I would want to go through the effort of convesion to exchange a gain of 5 to 7 HP for a constant noise.
