Manual Steering Rack swap
Hi all I have an S5 Turbo and I'm looking to buy an S4 manual steering rack from a friend.
Does it matter if it comes from an adjustable steering column or not?
Is this a direct bolt up or am I going to need more S4 parts?
Please enlighten me with anything else I may need to know, Thanks!

I drive my T2 on tracks all the time with the manual rack. It's a little bit of a hassle for autox but for normal circuit driving it's not an issue, I never turn it further than a half turn as far as I can remember. Even with the manual's lower ratio it's a royal PITA for parallel parking, I imagine the depowered power one is even worse.

This car is a daily driver that should see some minor track days. This includes autox, road racing, and drifting. I'm looking more for reliability and simplicity. The car I have now has the de-powered power rack but the asshat that did it crimped **** and bent ****.

What size bolts are all the fittings on the rack? Maybe I can just get some nicer looking hardware?
