Then the girlfriend is the one who judges if the steering (rack) feels different.
You should determine if the rebuilt unit requires attention..

Rack replaced, powr steering pump replaced. All lexus parts. Now its losing power steering pressure when brakong amd turning and after measuring i can see that it turns alot sharper to the left than right. Then turning right is also tougher than left. What in the world is going on

Did you replace the hoses as well? new banjo gaskets and bolts? bled the system properly?

Sounds like EVO unit may be possible culprit?

Doesn’t really matter if the res cap is on or off as it’s the low pressure side of the PS system.
50x is prob overkill, it should only take 10 to 12x
