The MBC won't gain you a lot of power, probably about 15 bhp. The lpt ecu will only allow about 6 lbs of boost, max. (this, I presume, to prevent people from buying a CS lpt and spending $100 to buy the solenoid in a junkyard and adding the 30bhp that SAAB sold as part of the $3,000 CSE package.) You will have faster spoolup from the MBC, but you will find it very difficult to not hit fuel cut-out (at least I did) with the stock ecu. You should manage to find an FPT ecu in a junkyard for $200-300, which will enable you to make 200 bhp... however, at that point, you may be as well off buying the solenoid for $100 instead of the Dawes MBC for $50, because you will retain the full benefits of Trionic anti knock protection. There is a ton of information/opinions etc. on MBC's all over this site, particularly on the performance board.
