Your e-mail address indicates that you're in Polska, so you'd be looking at a Euro-spec car. The VIN numbers wouldn't necessarily correspond to what we'd see here in the US.
Other than contacting SAAB to have them verify what the original APC box was set up as, the only way that I can think of checking to see how close it comes to a US-spec SPG is to see how much maximum boost it has (a bit above the red on the APC boost gauge) and to measure the distance of the lateral line (sounds like a fish) is above the edge of the aero wheels. It should be lower to the ground than a standard 900 of the same year.
There's really nothing special about the engine as compared with normal 16-valve 900 Turbo engines of the same year. The only difference is that the APC is tuned to give slightly higer boost and base boost is set slightly higher - that's how they get the higher horsepower rating for the SPG model.
