Yes, I did it...Here is everything you need to know...

First off I need to give credit to Ubipa here on Saabnet. He has put the site together (below). I just converted my 2.1L with EZK 2.4.2 Fuel Management System (apparently I am the first one here on Saabnet to do it to the 2.4.2 system)
Here is the website that got me going...

Here is the post I wrote up a few weeks ago...
--------------------------------------------------------------
I added a turbo to my '91 900S 2 weeks ago and I LOVE the results! I am currently running 6.5psi and it screams compared to before. (you MUST use premium after convert) The spool up of the turbo is excellent, and makes the engine really perform. FYI: Be sure that your HG is in good order. Mine is 150psi across the board. If yours is not in good shape, the turbo will make it worse very quickly.
Here is basically what you will need:
-Intake Box w/ filter
-Piping from box to turbo (use your 2.4.2 AMM)
-Metal Piping from Turbo to Intercooler (Get larger 88+ Piping)
-Intercooler
-Piping from IC to Intake (Get larger 88+ piping)
-Exhaust Manifold
-Turbo with mounting brace to tranny
-Downpipe elbow and Downpipe and downpipe support to tranny
-New Oil Line Gaskets and Exaust Manifold Gasket
-Oil Cooler, oil filter mount, oil lines
-Oil Inlet and Dump Lines with Banjo fittings/ o-ring
-Coolant Inlet (New Lower Rad Hose) and coolant discharge Line (with banjo fittings; IF turbo is watercooled 88+)
-Turbo Injectors (white top)
-Battery and distributor Heat shields
-BOV and hose from intake manifold to BOV
-One-way check valve for small vacuum line from intake manifold to cam cover
I have found that using the stock EZK ignition system to be fine. After the convert, I added a J&S Electronics knock/retard system to it for added saftey. (http://www.jandssafeguard.com) Though it was $500+
I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants some extra zip, or ease of driveability to their NA. It is by far the best thing I have done to her...
My email is above, so contact me if you woud like yo go through with it, as I may have another kit (turbo, intake etc.)
----------------------------------------------------
PLEASE let me know if you have any questions. I absolutely LOVE my setup, and has made me love my C900 even more. I just set the payment out for my Mitsubitsi TE-05 turbo (used on '90&'91 SPGs) it is smaller than the T-3 used on most 900s, so it will have much faster spoolup. I am now looking into some 2.5" or 3" downpipes :-)
