2002 booster

[jakeb]

I have multiple 2002 boosters, does this booster have a lot less power assist than the iX booster? Can I use the stock e30 MC?

All I need to do is shorten the rod and either thread or weld the e30 fork on correct?

Is the 2002 booster smaller than the iX or larger.

I bought a e32 booster from vines but they sent me the wrong thing. Hoping they just take care of it and get me the right one but we will see. I have not had much luck with them in the past.

Also can I drop the engine in without the intake on? The intake is currently off the engine so thought it would be easier to get the engine in without the intake in.

TIA

E32 735 boosters are the same (albeit different vacuum hole position) as the iX double diaphragm booster. Uses the same style master cylinder as well.

yeah you can throw in the motor w/o the intake. Definitely a pain to get attached while in the engine bay, but done it quite a few times. Rear fuel line though, watch out for it, its a pain to get ahold of when puttin the intake on.
