Once you get to certain power level, you will easily overwhelm your traction in 1st, 2nd and even third gear. In order to counteract this a bigger turbo may give up a bit or not add any more power in the middle or low range, thought it will keep pushing higher in the rev. Lot's down low power is not good for a FWD car. The stock turbo will only allow for more midrange punch and will always start to taper off as the revs go up. If you've ever drive a car that keeps building power until the end of its rpm range, you'll know its much more fun that way.
My ideal upgraded saab would retain the factory power curve until about 4000 rpm, but instead of starting to drop off, it would continue building just as strongly from 4k-6krpm as it did from 2k-4krpm. You can't achieve this with the stock turbo.
