I have put a vs ecotech into my 4wd and havent got the power steering box for my hilux yet .
How to run the car without power steering hoses running to the power steering box . Can i just create a loop between the 2 hoses or block them off without damaging the pump .

Don't block it, you will have to loop it. The fittings/hoses are different sizes so it won't be easy. Might be able to cut the ends off a couple of old hoses and put a joiner/adapter in the middle.

Wouldnt blocking it of just leave the pump idling? Like no issue there, just the same if it were running in a commodore and not turning the wheel.

I dont think you should loop it because you'll be running a high pressure hose into a low pressure reservior. Also blocking the high pressure hose might wreck the pump.You can use a ecotec ilder pulley on a pre ecotec motor to get rid of the pump http://www.osp.metrohosting.info/v6ps.html but i am not sure about the ecotec.
