I have rebuilt a SAAB ZF4HP-18 - converting it from a non-turbo to turbo version. From the sizes of the clutches and bearings, the (hollow) torque converter (turbine) shaft, and the seals, I would guess that at 200 HP with a car that has the mass of a 9K, that this particular transmission is close to its reliable performance limit. The fact that SAAB offered the 225 HP version of the AERO enigine with only the manual transmission is circumstantial evidence that their engineers felt similarly. I don't think that SAAB had aftermarket engine performance modifications in mind when they designed the 9K drivetrain.
