X3 Vacuum Booster Adapter Fittings

[Chilezen]

How did you guys connect the vacuum line from the booster to the intake manifold?

I used the one-way check valve that came with the booster, then used this and cut it a little at each end.

Could you by chance post a picture? Mine just came with the semi rigid hose and I'm not sure where there is a check valve at all. Thanks for the parts link Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Thanks so much for the pictures. I didn't want to see that we have to relocate the reservoir but after test fitting the throttle body I think we have no choice. It's either that or taking out the booster and going with a different booster and hopefully don't have that issue.

The X3 booster fits and works so well that it is worth relocating the reservoir. I like Chilezen's welded bracket but you can also bolt up something to the strut tower in a similar fashion.

All those 2002 parts for the remote setup are available from ATE in the aftermarket.

A friend actually sent me a link to a bracket that doesn't require any welding is fairly cheap or easy enough to make and looks like a clean install http://n15design.com/product/e30-rem...v=402f03a963ba Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That is a really nice piece and agree that would make for a easy/clean install.

I'm really leaning towards the E83 booster, but I'd like to use Revshift mounts so they're a little softer than the solid Condor mounts (unless someone can offer some input on those, if they aren't TOO harsh). Can anybody confirm if this booster clears?
