Another brake booster question

[Overlord475]

E30 325ix and e32 735i boosters are great options (same part number)

Should bolt right up. Though you might have some MC/Reservoir clearance with your intake boot??? <<---- Not sure on that

User "Jean" here on r3v has a 735i booster and MC combo at a good price.

the treehouse booster is a modded e21 booster lol

325ix and e32 are good

I just talked to TreeHouse the other day while I was ordering a set of their solid CAB brackets, and it sounds like their brake boosters are on a crazy long back order.

thanks for the advice guys - I have an ATE 944 brake booster on the way...

why do people not buy e21 boosters, mod them and resell? Put treehouse out of business

I think the bigger ? is why are people NOT using A4 non quattro 1.8T booster/MC and redo the line ends. Rod needs chopped like others and clevis needs drilled out about 14mm. The MC is short and stubby and the booster is a dual diaphragm type offers more assist in a smaller package. After having a 944 and a 951 I cannot believe ANYONE would want that crappy stiff pedal feel. I remember slamming down on the pedal only to glide to a stop in the 951......scary.

now you chime in?!

Just drill the firewall and shave the fins. The e21/ ix/ porsche/ hydro boost swaps are unnecessary. It takes all of five minutes to drill four holes or slot the existing holes with a dremel. Don't forget to hit the new holes with some primer inside and out.

[Overlord475]

I just slotted my firewall and slid my booster over, though I still need to shave the fins on my intake. You will also run into clearance issues between your clutch master cylinder and your accelerator pedal bracket if you slide it too far over.

Swiss doesn't like it.... He's all weird about things touching each other, hahaha

And, they're only like $150
