    adapting the 325i throttle body to a 323i or 325e

    Well my 323i has teh same throttle body as a 325e on it so i'm goign to update to the 325i throttle body. Checking all the connections I will probably just connect the coolant lines together adn not run them through the trhottle body, sinc eI live in Texas and all. But alot of the other connections are in weird spots so I'm not quite sure wher and how to hook them up. If anyoen has pictures of a 325i throttle body on a 325e or can help me out on what to block off or where to connect what I'd appreciate it.

    Not too difficult since everything is just on the opposite side. IIRC, you'll need to run a custom hose from the ICV to the 325i intake boot. Plug up the ICV port on the i throttle body. Also plug up or link together the 2 small fittings for the brake booster. There's also a port on the bottom that will need to be plugged up. If you just do it, it's pretty easy to figure out what needs to be done.
