Smile Interesting C90 Modification

Had my C90 in at the dealer complaining bitterly about consumption. I was most appologetic after being told that the Odo is in miles, not km. Mmmmm#$&*#@%*. OK, that means my consumption is very good - 6L / 100km - two up. Not bad at all.
Then the dealer informed about a small mod on the exhaust emmission system, simply stopping the hot gas returns to the air box. In his opinion it is not a good idea in hot countries like ours (South Africa). So he stopped the pipes up, and - better performance and consumption.
Interesting for the boffins out there.
