Assume you are talking 79-93 900s.
Clock the turbo (orient inlet/exhaust same as stock turbo), if necessary. Hopefully, the wastegate will work. Either re-drill stock manifold or fabricate an adapter for exhaust inlet (I believe, but you'd need to confirm, that the flange is a T25 pattern). Fabricate water/oil lines, or get adapters for existing lines, too, if necessary. If existing inlets don't work with stock plumbing, fabricate others from a 9-5 or adapt the stock ones.
In other words, this is custom work & yer on yer own. :-)
The A/R of the compressor is 0.53 and the A/R of the turbine is 0.47 (unconfirmed). (Stock T3 is .48 turbine and .42 compressor.) Google the p/n: 9172123 or 5955703 for fitment to other Saabs. Also look into seal issues they had at some point...
All that said, this is a more modern, slightly larger turbo than the stock T3. If I had one, I just might put it on, too...
