I had a T3/4 turbo in my 87 SPG & the 10-12 PSI max I was running was a LOT more powerfull then the 20++ I was running with the OEM unit. There was a little more lag but definantly not bad. About 1000 miles after the turbo was installed the head gasket (original at 170K) let loose & it's been sick ever since :o( Hopefully in a week or so I will be using the same T3/4 turbo on my 88 SPG with a newer motor (150K miles) & a 4 speed trans. Like always with these old saabs the trans is the weaks spot & it looks lke I will be using Quaker State oil & changing that every time I change my motor oil :o)
ooooo the price of more power :o)
