BP swap close ups

Post by 94drumx3 »

Can someone with a successful Bp swap into a 94+ mx3 please post close up pictures of the vacuum lines and around the whole intake manifold (both passenger and drivers side) area?

yeah i've studied over that picture a million times. i just thought for a swap into the mx3 some vacuum lines might be different.
so that knobby vacuum piece coming out of the top of the IM on the passenger side is just supposed to be sealed off.
where does the vacuum line that goes to the brakes lead to?
what about the lines/hoses underneath the TB?
