This insulation is sometimes called the ‘silencer’. The ‘silencer’ is a black perforated plastic piece wrapped with fiberglass insulation. It is installed inside the intercooler inlet tube directly after the turbocharger on all 1994-1998 Saab 900 turbos and some 1999 9-3. According to some sources, the insulation is designed to reduce the amount of heat the intake air absorbs from the turbocharger and exhaust manifold. It may also be intended to reduce the ‘whine’ noise from the turbocharger. Remove the ‘silencer’ by grabbing it with a pair of needle-nose pliers and pulling it out of the intercooler tube. The ‘silencer’ is destroyed in the process. Mine tore into a few pieces as it came out.
