Air Intake - go to the genuinesaab website. They sell the part for around $14, shipping will be around $9, and they have a pictorial of the installation. Some Dealers have been able to beat the total $23 price so check there too. If you have a set of ramps, installation time on a pre-2002 model is only 10 minutes.
Air filter - I am still using Saab's old style filter, but Saab has a new lower restriction model, plus there are the K&M and ITG performance filters too. All fit in the original filter box. Price will be $35 to $80 depending on what you select.
By-Pass Valve - I recently replaced my failed Bosch plastic unit with a Forge Motorsports Aluminum model with replaceable diaphragms and springs. Forge and Hyperboost are the two most common brands for upgrades although there are a couple of others too. Plan on $50 for a Bosch plastic model and $150 for an Aluminum valve.
