The SAAB APC system is a fantastic turbo control mechanism. Not only will it adjust your boost relative to engine condition but it also listens for knock to prevent serious mechanical failures. Although it seems that the manufacturer did some homework in designing this system, it's fault lies in the fact that it was designed for the average consumer, and not the enthusiast. Upgrading the APC system is always the first step taken in the search for higher levels of engine output.
The SWEDISH DYNAMICS Red series APC upgrade will give you a seat of the pants boost increase without negating any of the knock safety parameters. We completely reprogram the APC control unit to allow boost to come on quicker, go out further, and stay with you longer! Knock sensitivity is reformatted to be more capable of sensing detonation only…and not engine noise. Depending on fuel delivery and additional modifications, we have been able to see an additional 20-30hp(@18-22psi) on 900/9000 cars using this system…and we guarantee that you'll feel the difference. This is also an upgrade that will be taken with you when climbing the power ladder and it will work with any size upgraded turbo, engine, etc. to provide maximum boost at all levels of engine output. Price is based on exchange and we can either reprogram your OEM APC or send one of our inventory units with an applied core charge (which is credited once we receive your original APC in return)…either way this is one upgrade that you won't regret!
Be warned that there are many tweaked and so-called upgrade units on the market that will simply push boost levels out to the end of the red zone of your boost gauge only to be pushed immediately back into the early red. Our units will push your 900/9000 out to the latter part of the boost gauge red zone and hold it there while retaining full knock sensitivity!
