Unless you want a shiny one, go stock replacement, but from VW. SAAB seem to make those valves up by 100% compared to the same valve sold at VW! I assume the 9-5 2.3 will be very similar in many ways to the 9000 2.3, which I know a chap running over 1 bar about over 300 BHP with the stock valve - he reckons there's no merit in changing for an expensive shiny one. If you're going to run up rated boost, the standard valve will hold the pressure. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
