'83 900 turbo - what can I do for more power? Posted by Saabpilot [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Now that I've had my "new" '83 900 turbo for a few weeks I've really enjoyed driving it. The prior owner replaced the springs with SPG springs but other than that it's pretty much stock.
What can I do to improve the boost? Are the 8 valve engines as tunable as the 16? On my 16 valve '87 900 turbo convertible I added a 3" Cat-back stainless exhaust from George's Imports, a K&N air filter to replace the OEM air box and large intercooler tubes . These made a huge improvement in power.
Can I do the same things with the '83? I don't want to go nuts for two reasons - financial and because the car already has 171k miles on it. This was purchased to be my year-round Saab because I have spent a ton of time and money on the 900 convertible to make it mint. Although this '83 is also pretty nice, too.
Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.
