m roadster intake boot question

nodemgr · #1 (**permalink**) 08-20-2002, 05:19 PM

The M roadster intake boot I bought has 2 holes on the bottom but my stock intake boot that I am replacing has 1 hole. Does everyone just plug the other hole? What do you use to plug it? Also what is the function of the tube that connects to the intake boot? I have a '98 M3/4 and am removing the ASC throttle body.

Mine only hade one connetion on the bottom. I don't know what that line is but when it wasn't connected my car would idle but as soon as i pressed the gas it would stuble and stall. It is from a 98 M roadster right?

It is part number 13-54-1-738-757. Is this correct?

Nevermind, I did get the wrong one. I just saw a picture with one hole. I need 13-54-1-703-588.

BTW that is the idle air control valve that plugs into the boot. Check out http://home.earthlink.net/~r_tech/cars/firstmods.html.

This mod will just defeat ASC correct? I have heard that there is a way to reverse the switch so it just turns ASC on (rather than off) does anyone know about this?

Thanks
