    I dont have one fitted to mine but from memory they are fitted to the 960 3 ltr sure you have to change some of the pipe work to 3" to make it work

    960 3 litre is where they're found. Also think the 2.5 20v 850 has a larger throttle body and can be modified to accept a larger throttle butterfly but not 100% on that. As far as experiences go the 3.0 throttle body with the 2.5 20v inlet manifold makes a big difference to the throttle response of the car but I had to have my map tweaked after that was fitted as it suffered with very minor det with the existing custom map I had done to the car. I wouldn't go back to the standard items though as drivability its transformed the car.

    I've got one for the 940, which I'm bound to crash, looking forward to fitting it.

    Tim Williams does a modified version which may not cause the map problem, but guessing you were running a custom map andy

    Yes was running a custom map pre the throttle body replacement, it was done at the same time as the engine build and I had the map checked and adjusted as necessary, and have had it rechecked again since to make sure all is well
