The stock 9000 intercooler is a "decent" unit, that works reasonably well up to something like 250-270 hp. Above that you are playing with fire as the tanks on the 9000 intercooler are plastic and really don't like boost above 20 PSI or so...
But Adam's right, the intercooler is definetely not your #1 upgrade. I already have 3" from turbo, 3" cat, modified airbox, K&N-filter, ECU upgrade and some other minor mods. NOW I need a bigger intercooler. Not before.
So go the "normal" route and get a 3" from turbo (not cat back, that's more or less useless...) and if you want more power still get an ECU upgrade.
Intercooler upgrade is "extra curricular" for most Saabers...
My 2 cents.
