First off, a Swedish Dynamics box is an SPG9 box.
Secondly, to open up the box and publish the modifications would be theft of intellectual property, which in my opinion is simply unethical.
I realize IP theft occurs frequently with computer software (installing a program that you didn't pay for on your computer), but that does not make it an ethical practice. The global SAAB C900 performance community is rather small unlike many other European brands and frankly without support for the vendors, they will not exist.
There is an investment in R&D to develop new products. This is why patents exist. It is always much easier (and cheaper) for the second person to copy than the first person to invent. If SPG9 thought that after all this effort, 1 person would just buy their box and publish the changes, then there would be no awesome SPG9 box since the sale of just one would not justify the expense of development.
Personally, I do not run an SPG9 box yet. When I want the extra 2-3 pounds of boost with a little more stability, I will buy one.
Frankly, I feel quite good about our community that no one has done what you suggest.
