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?
