Any Power steering tweaks / Upgrades?

I run 33" tyres - yes I know - and for the most part the pas does fine. But every now and again it seems to not work as well, and often when properly stuck I could do with a bit more power!.
Just wondering if there are any tweaks available to the original pump? (bigger pulley?) Or other tried and tested paths?. Tbh I suspect mine may benefit from a rebuild perhaps...

There will also be a pressure relief somewhere in the system. If you can find it it may be possible to modify it and get a bit more force at the tyres.
Sadly I have the base 16v. But interesting to know that Pulleys and pressure reliefs can be tweaked. I guess it's just knowing how far one can go....
Thanks
