I have a '99 9-3 LPT (155hp)

Upgarded with Abbott (http://www.abbottracing.com) ECU and cross-flow intercooler. With 1.0 bar boost (yours now has 0.4), it dynoed at 215hp.
Huge accn. difference, the car is very fast -top speed just under 250km/h indicated.
In retrospect, although Abbott did a good job and I'm happy with it, I'd go for a less expensive upgrade. Abbott also compromises some of the knock-safety features and it's not wise to use non-premium gasoline with this program.
Here are some suggestions:
http://www.saabtuning.com (highly recommended by everyone who has used them -supposedly former Saab engineers)
http://www.hirsch-performance.ch (they seem to be very professional, but expensive as Abbott)
http://www.maptun.com
http://www.speedparts.se
http://www.bsrab.com
whatever you do, don't trust any local "tuners" with no Saab experience. The software on these cars is very sophisticated, more so from MY2000 onwards. You can't go wrong using one of the aforementioned places.
Good luck
