                        this is the cars gods way of telling you that that engine doesnt belong in a BMW...

                        i would seriously look at a tilton or willwood pedal setup...new brake lines are easier than a remote setup

                                when i was plannin on putting a ls1 in my car i was going to use a hydro boost setup from a mustang. Might be worth looking into for your application

                                        Have a look around on ebay, it'll probably be cheaper from a retail store here in aus/nz.

                                            Maybe you could install the booster behind the firewall, under the dash, with just the reservour sticking into the engine compartment, I looked under my dash and there seems to be room there for the booster.

                                                I really doubt you could fit the booster on the other side of the firewall and not have to put in all new pedals and everything up there...

                                                    Actually you are right, the whole pedal rack would have to be fabricated, but it looks simpler than remote mounting, taking into account where his intake is and the limited space.

                                                        Just remember it's alot harder for us RHD guys, the booster is still on the left side and it has a linkage that runs across the inside of the firewall from right->left.

                                                            Shit! sorry I just didn't even think it was RHD, well, is there room on the right side?, I think that with the intake out of the way maybe the right side would be a logical location for it, and ditch all the linkage. (mabe it's harder, ut it's worth giving it some thougt).
