Do not try to 'hop up' and engine which is not in top condition. You would not run a marathon or compete in the olympics without first getting into shape or at least training, would you? Saabs have a certain feel which no other car has. I think you nay have gone over the top on a daily driver with all the modifications. My daily driver is at SPG spec and that is fine for me. If I wanted a fire eater, I would do it to a 'garage queen' and start with a ground up build. Racers do not generally hop up a used engine and transmission, they start from scratch and build it to tight tolerances first. First get the turbo problems resolved. Keep in mind that a larger turbo will INCREASE spool up times due to greater inertia, but will increase HP due to higher flow rates at higher RPMs. I really do not see the benefit since the FI computer limits us to 6200rpm anyway. I would not loose the faith. You will regret it when you sell it and live with another one for a while. You will want it back. Besides, it will take only money to get yours back together and running correctly. Do you want to see it ragged out by someone who does not know what he has or, even worse, brought to tip top condition and see it running down the road driven by someone else?
