so i just finished putting my built motor and huron speed single turbo kit back in my car.. been running for about 5 days. Yesterday while i was backing out of my drive way i noticed my power steering was gone and then came back within 10 seconds.. rest of day not an issue. today i went to look at a puppy im adopting and on the way doing 45 mph the power steering just went away and scared the shit out of me then came right back. then i noticed above 35 mph it happend more often.. especially when i hit bump.. prior to being boosted i never had an issue with my power steering and would like to fix it sooner than later.. any info would be great. Thank you!

Check the ground

Yes, check all your grounds. Especially those associated with the electric steering. If it acts up more when hitting bumps I can't help to believe there is a ground issues. Good luck.

Besides grounds, also checked for pinched wires. I pinched mine to my steering rack when installing my engine.
