I have a 1986 Saab 900 with the 8-valve motor. The body and interior are in great shape, but I would really like to give it more horsepower. I have two questions: 1. Would replacing the exhaust with a performance exhaust give me that much more HP? Is it a bad idea to modify the exhaust? 2. If I replace the engine, can I replace it with a 16-valve turbo? If so, what year of engine would fit? Anyone have any idea as to cost? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. If you want to contract me directly, please write to: jefferisnopsamuoregon.edu Thanks. --
