The two wires from the temp sensor that run to the e36 instrument cluster are:
.5 BR/GE (Brown/Yellow)
.5 BR/VI (Brown/Violet)
The two wires from the temp sensor to the DME are:
.5 BR/RT (Brown/Red)
.5 GR/BR (Gray/Brown)
So it looks like you need to wire the M20 temp sensor to one of the wires that goes to the e36 instrument cluster. I don't know which one though.

I did the E21 booster on my first swap and think it sucked badly. This go I was going to go with the THR booster but heard they just use the E21....
So how do you like the Audi booster? 1.8 T and it's Plug and play WITH better clearance?
Looks like you use the Audi MC also and I'm guessing the lines don't thread in?Last edited by Mr.SWISS; 02-03-2011, 03:33 PM.Originally posted by 325Projectzdon't listen to the diagram... listen to mr. swiss.

the audi booster was GREAT! had a solid pedal and great braking!
ther was slight modifying on the pedal clevese (needed tapped to the booster push rod size and the booster push rod needed to be cut back a few threads.
ad for the brake lines they needed to be made to fit the stock ABS unit and the MC side needed the bigger line bolts.sigpic

So this is is going to seem like a really dumb question, before I ask it, but...
Is there any kind of exploded/rebuild/reassembly guide/walkthrough on how to put everything back together on the M50? Like placement of all of the parts, where hoses and wiring goes, mountings, arms, attachments, etc? I'm at the point where I can start putting a lot of stuff back together, but don't exactly remember where it all goes... even a good collection of pics of the motor before tear-down would be helpful.Last edited by Jand3rson; 02-08-2011, 11:51 PM.
