Hi all,
I have just completed a series of enhancements to my 9-3, and am very impressed with the results. For anyone out there who is interested in performing relatively inexpensive (and DIY) performance mod's to their 9-3's, I would definately recommend the following: I installed a Saab Sports cat-back exhaust and a K&N air filter which made a significant improvement over stock. Next, I enlarged the airbox intake, removed the turbo silencer and ported the TBTC. These were virtually without cost at about$15 in materials/tools and I felt made a small increase in power but certainly improved engine responsiveness. A unexpected but welcome improvement of approx. 2mpg in fuel mileage (especially given the fuel prices these days :). Most recently, I installed a MP Performance MBC+A with outstanding results. I'm currently dialing it in, but I am most impressed with the great increase in boost control over stock. I am now able to get the needle midway into the red zone which I've not been able to do since I've owned the car.
Anyway, thanks to the board, and notably Dean, Jeff at MPP, and others who have given excellent advice and directions--I am one happy camper!
