Hey , do i need to have fets to do this mod?
No, you don't need fets to do this mod. About six months ago I did the rewiring and modified steering rack on an Audi TT SE. I had good results. I went from 3/5 to 6/6 clicks right and left. And no jittering when the steering is re-centering itself. Yay! It takes some tweaking and patience. I learned the hard way- less is more when trimming the steering rack. I ended up getting a little over-zealous and cut too much off to then have to go back and rig up a stopper that wouldn't let the tire hit the chassis while turning. I found after I did the rewire mod the steering wouldn't go exactly back to center. It tends to slightly drift both left and right. A small price to pay for great handling, which helps counter the minor drift problem. It was worth the whole effort to eliminate the 'jittery steering' problem. I am glad RS finally fixed this problem with the 3rd generation models.

I have to give a 'thank you' to 'cyborgzero' and everyone else for passing along great information. Thanks.
