Default Need help with power steering

Hey guys I just picked up a 1jz swapped sc300. When I got it the power steering did not work at all. I added fluid and it works a little better, but it groans quite a bit when I turn.

I also have a leak and can't seem to find a replacement hose and for some reason the routing seems off?





Anyone know if this is a high pressure hose and where I can get one and if the routing is correct?

Thanks

stock sc300 high pressure power steering line will work, or driftmotion sells a kit to go to stainless braided that makes routing less gay.

Thanks guys. Does that routing look correct though? And what's that two port valve by the pump?

I added fluid and bled the system, but the steering is still heavy and it's almost as if the PS doesn't work when the car isn't in motion.
