How long do you leave it unplugged for? is that all you have to do is leave it unplugged for some time and then reconnect?

Not familiar with this mod. Is it for NA only or do Turbo's get to play too?
I believe it is just N/A but here are a couple of the past threads.

Cool! The computer just has to re-learn what it's going to expect. I reset mine after I make any change to it (new air filter, the turbo control valve I added, cleaned PCV system, fixed vac line).

Plate only applies to NA models. It is flat on a Turbo.

As for disconnecting the battery, what I do is pull off the negative cable, then insert the key and turn to start. Then remove the key and reconnect the cable. Let the dash reset, and then restart the car. This drains the charge immediately rather than waiting 10+ minutes for it to drain itself.

It will drain the residual power in about 15 minutes. Make sure you have your radio code before disconnecting the battery. You can also drain the residual by using the brake pedal to force the brake lights to use up the last of the power.

I'd suggest a change in the procedure of reconnecting the battery cable. Volvo's recommendation for the SRS-equipped cars is to put the key in II, exit the vehicle, reconnect the battery cable and not re-enter the car until the SRS light is out or has been on for over a minute. This is to reduce the risk of an airbag firing on you when you turn the key, and to ensure that the computer network (on the '99s and newer) comes up properly. On '99s and newer this procedure is required, and it is recommended on SRS-equipped Volvos up to '98.

Okay one week later and one 850 mile trip back to Nashville from Philly. Here is the lowdown. MPG for mixed driving is up about 2 miles. From 23 to 25. (Until I had to turn on the AC.) Highway mileage was 29 up from 26/27. The performance enhancement was very noticeable and the mileage improvement is nice. Easy job to do. I recommend it

Someone posted the contact info for Waltrip(?) Volvo and the part numbers (plate and two screws) at one point but I can't find it. Does anyone still have that?

Rob, good luck finding a junkyard that is willing to let you pull the plate. That renders the TB useless to them.
