The joys of tweaking...

I also went the route of tweaking the APC box. I bought a used one off eBay for $5, and tweaked that one, leaving my original one intact just in case I messed up the other one.
What a TREMENDOUS difference! Granted, I also reset my base boost to 6 psi and installed a 3.0 bar FPR from a non-turbo 900. The amount of torque increase was phenomenal! Although I am only boosting into the mid-red, that's more than enough for me and to not fry my 5-spd. The look on people's faces as I pull away from them when they think a convertible "old" Saab won't have much brings a smile to my face every time!
I followed the tips/tricks I found on this bb as JohnK recommended to you, and could not be happier. I was just driving into work this morning, reflecting on how much I absolutely LOVE my 900 (and my 9000). Now, if only I could find some time to fix the sticking front caliper and the blown circuit for the lighting of the left-side of the dash (circuit board is ripped and needs repair)...
