r32 steering racks quicker than gti racks

[Janner_Sy]

I know the steering rack for the mk4 R32 was quicker than the mk4 GTI, is this the same for the MK5 platform, if so are they easily interchangable without modificvation. and is it worthwhile

I may be wrong in saying this but I beleive it is the same steering rack across all models.

I think the above is correct.

IIRC and I may well be wrong, the mk4 R32 used the same rack as the TT225 (MK1) and the Leon Cupra R (MK1).
The mk5 Golf based cars use an electrical/mechanical steering rack which can be the same accross all models but can be modified by VCDS for either sharper steering and less assistance or the opposite. VW and Audi are making good use of this themselves in some of the current generation cars that have the adjustable dampers as when you put them into Sport mode it also sharpens up the steering and throttle response.

I think you can only adjust the steering's weight, not its gearing in VCDS, so I'm not sure how you'd improve turn in speed, just 'feel' - I would love however to be wrong.

Anyone else know??

i think the rack is different however unlike the mk4 i think the rack performs in the same fashion.

I was under the impression that you use a current Audi TT rack on the mk5 to get a shorter ratio turn to turn ?!?

I would like a tighter turn ratio as the current one is like an old double decker buss
