the first things I'd look at would be the plugs, wires, and rotor/cap. Also the coil might be suspect. High RPM's require a fast strong spark, sometimes it sounds like pinging... Also, I have seen the contact in the knock sensor push out of the connector and not make connection, an easy thing to over look but likewise an easy thing to fix. If you aren't getting into the red zone on your boost gauge (and assuming it is working properly, most do) then I'd say you are not really bouncing off the upper end of the boost the car is capable of hitting...
Yep, I have an 87 900T 5speed vert, and a 91 900T 5speed vert, and a 92 900T 5speed 3door, and a half a dozen 9000T including a couple of Aeros, everybody turbo... and two of the 24 Hours of Lemons 900T race cars are mine and the other is Walter's (see http://www.saabsgonewild.com) Come to Walter's shop and let's talk.
