my mechanic (who only works on Saabs) did a successful TCS bypass/removal on my 1992 9000CD turbo. it works great. i assisted in most of the procedure and it was not too complicated. i'm not a mechanic and i don't really work on my car much so if i understand it, then anyone can. basically, you...
-replace the TCS throttle body with a non-TCS standard throttle body
-replace the kickdown cable
-replace the ECU with a non-TCS ECU (they used a '93 i think)
-rewire the harness going to the ECU (they used a wiring diagram from a non TCS car i think)
that was pretty much it, but it is very possible i am leaving something out. i did lose cruise control and it cost about $400 total, but it was worth it. i was looking at who knows how much money to even FIND what was causing the limp mode problem. hope this helps!
