Engine/ model year question

Ok, in what model year did Saab eliminate the 'base' 185hp engine such that all 9-3's had the 205hp engine? Also, how much HP was a 1999 SE rated at? Did all 1999 SE's come with HOT?
Am I right in recalling as follows:
1) on all t-5 cars, the increase from 185 to 200 hp (HOT designation) was achieved solely by a cross flow (viggen style) intercooler
2) the increase from 200 to 205 was achieved by superior throttle body transition.
3) the decreased power in auto trans 9-3's was achieved my ecu means or transmission means. It had nothing to do with the mechanical engine itself.
If I'm right, then any 9-3 engine with a viggen intercooler should be rated at lease 200 hp, 205 if the engine was from a t7 car. Sound right?
