Your '92 9000 has a small Garrett T25 turbocharger. Even with the right hardware (3" all the way, K&N, big intercooler, bigger injectors etc) there's no way you could even get 300 hp. Especially not at 15 PSI. A friend of mine had his '95 2,3t dynoed at 284 hp. But that was running well over 20 PSI.
I know a lot of people with seriously tricked-out Saab's, and only one guy has so far run a 13.3 on a real dragstrip with real timing equipment. That was with a '94 2,3T with a BIG ball bearing Garrett turbo, BIG intercooler, BIG injectors, all piping to and from turbo and intercooler was 3", 3" exhaust, ported head, K&N conefilter etc etc. At the time of this race he ran 98 octane gas with octane booster, 16" DOT slicks up front and 31,5 PSI max boost. Rest assured, that is one WICKED Saab...
There are no Saabs that are close to 11 second times. I expect some projects to end up in the mid-to-low 12's this season, but now we're talking MONSTER Saabs... Not mildly tuned 2,3T's...
Not to be disrespecful or anything. I mean, maybe your car has a TS04 BB and a kick-ass intercooler installed that you're not aware of... Or something...
