Is The Chrome Dome Needed On Power Steering Line

[killa-watt]

Just wondering if I can remove this chrome dome thing on the powersteering line. I want to cut before it, re-flare the line and put it back in the rack to neaten things.

The car is a c33 and had hicas but is now removed but running the same rack and that ugly line.

Any heads up would be a great help

undo it, see what happens.

Tried that but was tight as and felt like something would crack. I've never seen it on a r32 or 180 that i've worked on

there is meant to be a sensor there, someone has removed it.

There is supposed to be a sensor in there that detects a change in pressure when you love the steering wheel and bumps the idle up to compensate for the extra load created by the power steering pump.

Move the steering wheel not love haha.

And there is no downside to getting rid of it except the little dip in revs when you turn the wheel.

The sensor is there before the dome thing, one bloke seems to think it's a T piece that went to hicas and that the dome nut has been used to block it off from leaking
