Apparently Saab is serious about this....

I performed the update this weekend so obviously I am biased, but I did note something interesting while performing the work. The Oct '03 TSB is the second set of instructions issued on how to eliminate the internal overpressurization problem in the engines. The first TSB instructions were to drill out the orifice hole in the oil trap to ~5mm. The second set now says to drill this out to 10mm. I purchased a new oil trap with my parts so I wouldn't have to worry about plastic shavings falling into the old oil trap and then into the engine where they might cause other future problems.
The orifice hole in my new oil trap (which I drilled out) was significantly larger than the orifice in my original oil trap! Saab is serious enough about this problem to be changing part specifications for the engines. Nick at Taliaferro indicated that the '04 models are being shipped from the factory with the Oct '03 changes already performed.
So Yes, I would recommend doing this.
