01 V70 T5 intermittent throbbing idle, worse with A/C on V70-XC70 2001

First, use premium gasoline ONLY. That crud is fouling your plugs, detonating like crazy, and the timing is retarded.
Second, use only copper plugs with a high pressure turbo. Platinum will melt in these engines at high rpm.
Stop using Techron.

Then after a couple of tanks of gasoline, let us know if it is still surging. If it is, it is probably the ETM.
