I found that in the notebook section today, believe it or not... guess great minds do think alike.

Honestly, I would not use the part from the M44. I would go out and get the part for the Six Cylinder cars (I have one on order from Pelican) instead. The opening is larger with a nice big diameter tube that leads to the airbox.

I will say this though. After fixing a vacuume leak (I had accidently loosened that strange hose that goes to the injectors) My car is VERY responsive now. The previous mid-range loss of power that leads to a flat top end is compleatly gone. I have slammed into the revlimiter several times today alone, the car pulls that well now.

I can only assume that BMW intentionally restricted the M44 to keep the HP numbers down low as not to compete with the 168hp the 323 has.
