Yes, they will be audible. They should sound once you turn the car off.

2. Is there a way to keep the power steering on "high speed mode" or whatever you would like to call it? To try and simulate a manual rack. I ask because too often I feel my steering tighten then loosen in the middle of a turn and its very annoying and unpredictable.
depending on the year they had speed and engine based references for when to activate the power steering. This is something i plan on adding to the FAQ maybe later this week since i found a good source of info.

But there is a chance that 1. your pump is going bad. 2. you have the wrong P/S computer or possibly even Pump due to an earlier repair and someone not having knowledge of the differences. This could yield funky results.

When the P/S is working correctly, the feel of the speed sensing (meaning car MPH) seems to be the best feel in my opinion.
