Ive noticed alot of people put these on the 850s as im trying to find out as many mods as i can im just wondering what car you get them off, what do i need to change, and is there any gains etc?

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
