i bought a 3" tb recently all good and well,but another one come up for sale so i got it for my dad....but his one has two pipes coming off the underside,sort of like vacum pipes!! what do i do with those is it just a case of blanking them off?? or is the "wrong" tb i have'nt seen it yet so i might pop round there and get a pic up if that makes it easier.

just block them up, or you can use them instead of the vac tree

That throttle body is the same as mine and I just blanked off each pipe.

Is there a noticeable difference fitting a 3" TB? What Volvos had them as standard? Is the TPS the same or do they need swapping over? Oh and what size is the standard C70 T5 one. Hijack over. ;)

the manifold will need porting, easy to do with a flap sander. The TPS is the same, but rotated 90degrees, i had to extend my wiring because of this but others have said they managed ok
