Have to replace the accumulator. Noticed that 1976-78 accumulators a lot cheaper than 1980/Turbo versions. Would an earlier version work for my 1980?

The older pressure accumulator has only 20 cm^3 volume and has a cracking sound when the engine is shut off. Two accumulators were used. The newer pressure accumulator beginning in 1979 has 40cm^3 and according to Porsche not only reduces the cracking noise in the fuel system when engine in stopped, but also helps with warm starts.
