This has been debated in detail in other posts. To summarize, in order for you to keep your power steering and increase the effort to turn (which increases road feel) you need to swap out the high pressure valve. The valve reduces the pressure (which can be between 900 and 1200 psi) essentially reducing how much power assist the pump is offering.

I tried using the shim kit which is also available and found that it doesn't decrease the power assist enough to warrant doing the modification. All the shim kit did was significantly reduce the high squeel that occurs when the wheel is turned to either lock.

The concensus is, the power steering assist you are feeling is indeed the way the factory intended it to feel.

Best of luck with your choice.
