I am running 32PDSIT's in my beetle which has a 1835cc (a little petrol hungry) engine in it and I have never noticed any fuel starvation with the stock beetle pump. The carbs have richer jets in them for the bigger engine so a beetle pump should be ok in a T3 with stock 32 PDSIT's. The only thing that is different than the beetle is the fuel tank is a bit lower down, but I don't know how much of a difference that would make?
