It is unobtrusive, COMPLETELY reversable and can be adjusted from no assistance to fingertip steering. It's basically an electric motor that drives the steering column when the wheel is turned.
It's not for me, but I completely understand why someone would want to fit it to a 3.2 - low speed steering can be a pain...

The bottom line is, its your vehicle. One thing I would say however is that for resale purposes some mods are better if they can be reversed and keep all items removed from your car.

When all is said and done, it's the OP's car and if a spot of power assistance (especially if its completely reversable) means he enjoys the car more, who are we to criticise? I believe hair-shirts can be extremely uncomfortable!
Please don't shoot me Paul...
I am in both camps on this. I like to keep my car original but parking is a pain.
An extra that can be fitted easily but also removed without trace is a good option and something I would even consider. I would be concerned about any loss of steering feel at speed.
At the moment I always try and park in a space that allows me a quick and easy exit.
Keep us informed of any decisions.

I say - go for it. If it makes the car into something you will use and enjoy more then b*gger the nay-sayers. It's your car and your money. If you do go for it please do report back and ignore the flak.

Hear-hear!
"It makes very light work of the twisty bits, with pin-sharp turn-in, and as I flick from curve to curve I’m thinking what a fine innovation this is. It actually helps you come off a corner a little bit quicker because it is so delicately wrought.
But what’s important is that you do feel a bit of resistance against your wrist-work, and that’s down to the amount of castor that EZ has set the car up with. And as I perform a three-point turn after each pass of the camera, never has full lock-to-lock been so easy to achieve. It’s not what I was expecting of a Carrera 3.2, and I would find it very easy to live with my steering being like this.
It doesn’t lose the tactile qualities associated with non-assisted steering, and my earlier scepticism is dispelled to the extent that I think it genuinely qualifies as an improvement. Having the assistance on the ‘heavy’ setting doesn’t really make any significant difference, so ‘medium’ is where you’d get optimum driving feel, as well as useful assistance in a parking or reversing situation. It might be advantageous in a rallying context, too. Seems to us like the perfect upgrade for a wide-tyred 911 that sees regular use!"
The italics are mine but the words are Johnny's; he does know a thing or two about 911s...
