Can I use an E48 balance tube on an E88 intake? If so, is it a direct bolt on or does it need an adapter.

As far as I know, the balance tubes interchange with all the manifolds. I put an earlier, non-egr balance tube on my N36 intake manifold. I believe the N36 came on the 260's. Hope this helps

Andy, thanks for the reply. I should have the intake, balance tube and carbs installed in a few weeks. I'll post the result.

Just curious, is that an E48 or E46 tube. I went out to look at several I have sitting in the garage, picked two of them up and both seemed to read E48, but upon closer inspection they read E46. I don't seem to have an E48 among my mess of parts.
