Yeah, they activate the ECO (electronically controlled orifice) valve differently to allow more assist. Just opened more to allow more fluid pressure through for higher assist.

Basically servotronic has the same ECO valve on the pump, then adds a similar valve to control flow on the nose of the steering rack. It controls the restriction of hydrolic assist based on vehicle speed for greater or lower assist.
