I cut and pasted the following from my rambling March 10th posting after doing this job.
"It took me around 90 minutes to replace the sensor. Most of this time was wasted while I fumbled around the turbo by-pass tube, and while trying to determine how to remove the screw holding the sensor. Hints for this job are: 1) remove the turbo by-pass tube; and 2) assemble the following Rube Goldberg contraption for extraction of the sensor holding screw - a torx bit (same size as largest tool in trunk) securely taped into a 1/4-inch 6pt socket, snapped onto a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter, snapped onto a 3/8 universal flex joint, snapped onto a 12-inch extension.
With the above device, and by-pass tube removed, the job went pretty fast."
I did the job from above with no ramps, in the dark, with a flashlight. Saab seems to always be changing fastener types and sizes, but the Torx bit I needed was the same size as used for the valve cover screws.
