E30 S54 swap specific design
The standard E46 CSL airbox does not correctly clear the E30 chassis when using an S54 engine. Karbonius have refined the rear section near the brake servo for proper E30 fitment and day-to-day drivability.
- Modified rear section for E30 chassis clearance near the servo
- Front inner canalisation duct is not included on this version
- Recommendation: fit a smaller brake booster to prevent any contact in tight engine bays
