2.2 bar for high boost.
Only normally use the low boost map as thats plenty enough on track and gets good grip in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.

Agreed, I'm using a standard Fiesta rack and have the same issue as you.
I have not yet changed for a quicker rack.
Fit a power steering rack but don't plumb in, it won't last forever but it will help when on the move.
You could plumb one in to a Citroen Saxo power steering pump.

Great weekend and sessions at Ford Fair big thank you to Fast Ford magazine.
Saturday I went along to JKM PERFORMANCE for there rolling road day which also doubled up as a check over for Sunday
Sunday @ Silverstone
Had a fantastic first session with the car and its handling/braking exactly as I want it too now. Looking forward to getting out in it more and pushing harder.
First session video yet to load up but here is a quick couple of laps from the 2nd session which
was cut short due to severe vibration on nearside front.
Great to meet up with all the usual faces too.

Not sure yet, will get up on ramp soon and strip the front nearside down to check everything. Yes his tyre went POP in the end.
Just loading the first session up now but taking for ever!!!
A lot more action in that one, and a bit of a drifting round Copse corner
