Whoa... You don't have to get personal by calling anyone who disagrees with your views an "idiot". All I'm trying to do is play Devil's Advocate.
People come to this forum everyday and ask for performance mod advice. You dutifully tell them to do this that and the other thing without any mention that it might cause problems. I'd like to know what YOUR evidence is that these mods are safe. People should understand the limits and the risks. I'm saying for the record... DON'T GO ABOVE 16 PSI!! Unless you want to pay the turbo rebuilder (been there, done that, twice)
Yeah, a K&N is mostly harmless (if you keep it oiled and cleaned) but a DIY boost controller is playing with fire. And as far as I'm concerned, the TBTC mod is minor at best... maybe good for a few horsepower but it's not going to transform the car. Let's put this all in perspective.
And yes, I have a K&N plus I've done every mod that I possibly can do to this car (yes, I even screwed around with a MBC). Why? Because I want to find out for myself what does and doesn't work so I can join the discussion. I'd like to hear from many others what they've done to their cars, but it seems like on a lot of these forums there are one or two "high priests" and everyone else is a follower.
Let's gather some data before passing final judgement.
And I stand by my assertion that turbo rebuilders will find a Goldmine with Saabs in the future... Heck, I think they're already getting some good business (they got mine).
