Hey guys, I drive a 83 323i and its got a m50 conversion. I've been noticing lately that the lower the fuel tank gets the more power i seem to loose. So i got myself an 044 and got my local mechanic to install it. He calls me up and tells me that it is too big! Once he added all the necessary adapters to fit up to the old system the whole setup would be too long! I PM'd a dude here on R3V and he suggested i run a catch can from the old pump then catch can to the 044. It sounds like a good idea but i was hopping there was someone here who has managed to squeeze it in with smaller adapters or a simpler design. The 044 is seriously like no more then 2 inches bigger in length then the standard AFAIK. As long as someone here can show me they have done it i will keep working at it. Otherwise i think i better put the 044 back on ebay! Thanks, Ryan!
