bored-out throttle body? S70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Terry Gibson on  Thu Sep 3 05:50 CST 1998 [RELATED]


What are the trade-offs involved with the installation of a bored-out

throttle body? I note two vendors selling these things:

http://www.teleport.com/~mvprd/ (MVP Products)

http://www.group-6.com/B-1.htm (Group 6 Performance)

The MVP page is fairly restrained in its description of the modified

throttle body. The Group 6 page claims 28(!) additional HP with no loss

in gas mileage.

As with many of these performance-enhancing parts, I'm thinking, "Some

Volvo engineers made a decision about the diameter of the throttle body

opening. Are their design goals in disagreement with what I'd want

for my car?"

Any input will be appreciated.

Terry
