Porsche 911 Throttle Body on a P1 Volvo

I have Focus SVT rear shocks , Mazda 3 front calipers, Focus ST front rotors, Jaguar Super V8 rear rotors, a bolt pattern which is shared with Ferrari, a Mustang GT500 hood vent , a Mustang GT coolant reservoir , an Acura shift knob, and a chassis which is covered with Ford Motor Company stamping.  There is a Volvo badge in there somewhere... But why not include a part from a Porsche?

As it turns out, the 2005 Porsche 911 GT2 throttle body is a direct swap with the P1 Volvo unit.  Plug and play, no extra wiring or software updates are required!

Please visit FCP Euro to read my recent article: How to Install a Porsche Throttle Body on a P1 Volvo

For those who are modding on a budget, a refurbished Porsche throttle body can be purchased off ebay for $50-$75.  Just search part number: 98660511501

Below is a video with the step by step instructions for throttle body removal from the Elevate intake manifold.  Even if you are not installing an upgraded part, I still highly encourage removing the throttle body for a routine cleaning every 60k miles.
