Mates,What's the best way to plug the oil return line and banjo bolt on PS pump?

[popdemonic]

I'm going to do the vacuum booster conversion on my car.So I'm just wondering
how to plug the oil return line and the banjo fittings on the PS Pump.Can I use the generic screw to plug on them boths? The reason I need to find the way to plug
of boths with easily to take everything back to hydro assisted system anytimes in the future.

If the pump is similar to the aby pump, then it cannot be blocked as you will either cause an explosion or snap the belt. If the pump is going to be left (For the power steering) then the line which goes from the pump to the bomb must be returned to tank so fluid can still flow.
The pump on the aby is actually 2 pumps, one vane pump (At the back of the pump), and a radial piston pump (The front half) gives a very low flow but very high pressure (140 bar--2058 psi) and the relief valve is in the BOMB. If you plug the line from the pump to the bomb you are removing the safety relief valve, so pressure will increase and increase until something fails.

someone said there's small valve inside the X-plug on the pump.All I need to do is remove that valve.I don't
know if it's practical.I'll find more info on it.

HERE is a guide on what is in there. Under the X plugs (There is one at the top and one at the bottom of the pump) is a piston and spring, the 2 pistons of the front radial pump could be removed, though you would have to check the internal porting, as the radial pump could be fed from the vane pump, as a vane pump is better at priming itself than the tiny radial pump. Give it a try, shouldn'nt cause any harm, as long as there is plenty of oil.

Thanks Graham,I'kk ket you know as sson as I got the Vacuum Booster.I'm still looking for the good used of the booster from the local yard.it seems it's a bit harder to find the used one.Don't know the one from the newe Chassis(C5) will plug N play on ours.
