The European 900 S (1992-'93 MY in most countries) is a low pressure turbo. Basically the T16 less IC and APC. It was only about $1,000 US more expensive than the NA base model, and the T16S (=SPG), the only remaining full pressure turbo version for those years, was $10,000 above that - at least, that's how it was in the Netherlands. So retrofitting an IC and APC to a 900 S made financial sense. That, and of course you could not get a T16S with 4 or 5 doors... There's quite a few 900 S lpt flyers around, especially in the UK. With proper fueling, an intercooler + IC fan and the usual intake/exhaust mods (as well as an uprated wastegate actuator) are running 1.1 bar on these cars - without APC...
And yes, that tail is friggin'huge. Much larger even than the Schussler version that came out way before the official Saab tail (I have pictures of a Heuschmidt-tuned 5-door with such a thing in a Saab club magazine that dates August 1985), and those weren't exactly subtle either.
