It has the oval tip found on most turbos. It does have the suspension modifications (loweredand stiffer) and the red box. I have driven other C900 turbos and mine seems to have more power and the engine seems to respond quicker. It makes my other Saab, a NG900SE V6, feel like a piece of junk. You depress the gas pedal and the engine/transmission does not respond for a few seconds. With the CET, the response is instant, even at 65 mph.
