1. The "Red Box" provides more boost and less boost taper than the stock black box. They need to be used in conjunction with a 2.8bar or 3.0bar fuel pressure regularly to work properly. If it's from an '89 9000T, you may also wish to pick up the Saab High Performance Distributor, or get an AID from SPG9 to maximize your results.
2. The aluminum intercoolers have pros and cons. The major benefit is that they are welded rather than clamped shut, and may very well hold up better to extremely high boost. The major negatives are that they weigh more, and will be more susceptible to heat soak, since the metal end tanks will be prone to absorbing and retaining heat more than the plastic ones. Overall, there is really no reason to switch from one to the other IMHO.
3. Cracking will happen. It's just the way it is. Finding ones in good shape can prove difficult.
4. You can pin the headliner up with all sorts of retaining devices, but ultimately having it refinished is the right solution.
