It requires the use of an E46 brake shutoff valve to change the routing from the elbow. That's what I did. I actually bought a CSL version that routes the line to the top of the plenum.

I am using the rubber band gasket but I know at least one other person took it out. Do you think leaving it in would provide a better grip?
As far as I know, everyone is using the standard elbow, but that could be worth a try.
Is part 4 on the diagram below the air shutoff valve I need? Is it a direct replacement (ie no other changes required)?
