the Pump does not control this, it is internal to the steering gear system, usually a "Steering Rack"

Telling if or not will be a matter of getting the Steering Rack # and checking to see if it capable of variable boost.

If you installed the pump, but did not make sure the pressure valve was not in place on the high pressure line, you may have a problem there.


The difference between a NV7 and a N40 rack and pinion?

NV7 is with Variable Effort Steering. N40 is with Non-Variable Effort Steering. Check the "Service Parts Identification" sticker for your car. Variable Effort Steering will have an electronic control valve on one side of the power steering pump with an electrical connector. The Variable Effort Steering "EVO" valve adjust the amount of power steering assist. It is intended to make the steering stiffer at higher speeds. This helps prevent the vehicle from wandering at highway speeds.
