Any EPAS fans out there?

I am in the beginning stages of an EPAS install using an ‘07 Prius column. Currently on 275’s up front with a 16:1 box and parking lots are not fun. I am stalled with two concerns. Foot space above the gas pedal is going to be tight for a size 12, but I believe a little fabrication can get the motor from the above pictured 4 o-clock position to at least 3.
More concerning is the effect on return to center which sounds to be partial at best when running in the 3 wire failsafe modes. It seems most people ignore or learn to live with it. It’s unclear to me if the aftermarket setups/controllers like 72bluNblu posted suffer from the same problem, but based on my(limited) research the adjustable knob is a bit of a red flag. Hopefully the aftermarket controller alleviates this issue.
