Hi Tyler, did you just get the compressor housing and wheel or the whole turbo? If it's the same as the 60 ser t-bird turbo's I sometimes pull at the wrecking yards it's the right wheel but the housing has bolt on flanges rather than hose connection types like your OG 900 turbo. Also if it's the turbo I think it is the turbine wheel is the one with the better (larger) exducer size which we use with the 60's we do. If the housing you scored isn't compatible with your Saab hose connections a Nissan 280 and 300 ZX is and it will also fit the wheel you have. Also the seal on the compressor end may be a positive one which isn't necessary for a Saab and has more friction that hurts spool-up some. Because of Saab's excellent crankcase ventilation system the non-positive piston ring type seal is best and if you did get the whole turbo the center section will probably have different threads for the oil and or water line fittings? Hope this helps, Dave
