Upgrade Stages can vary between suppliers. For Example I believe a Nordic "stage 3" is equivalent to an SQR "stage 5" so check the projected outputs from whichever supplier you choose to be sure you're hitting your performance goals. Most performance upgrades are both hardware *and* software so be aware of that. A larger downpipe reduces backpressure on the turbo and allows a faster spool-up time... opinions vary if you need to extend the 3" size all the way back or not. If you're going to change how the engine breathes with a less restrictive intake and exhaust, corresponding software changes are a must.
I suggest you ask more detailed questions on the performance board or contact any of the suppliers of T7 upgrades for more information: Jak Stoll, Swedish Dynamics, GenuineSaab, MP Performance, etc.
Is it DIY? Well... yes if you're so inclined. I am planning an upgrade on my Aero too sometime this year when the funds are available, but I haven't completely priced it all yet so I can't comment on your mechanic's estimate. I've definitely decided to use GenuineSaab as my tuner tho... driving to MO and leaving the car for the time it takes theme to bolt everything on and test. I look forward to driving back to California after the makeover :¬)
Good Luck, drive safe!
