After upgrading the turbo and adding a 3" downpipe there's not much clearance to the booster. The diaphragm in mine just went out, and I wonder if it's at least partially due to the extra heat (or maybe because it was nearly 30 years old..)
I've heard of people running BMW boosters that match the ATE MC. I guess there's a BMW unit with a smaller booster shell. Does anyone know which ones will work? I searched but couldn't find any info. Or would you recommend replacing it with the 944 unit? I'm not sure if the heat of the downpipe is known to break the diaphragm.
Thanks guys!

Can anyone confirm if the 924 booster is a direct bolt on and slightly smaller? I'd like to order something soon to get my car back on the road. Thanks!
