    Im a new Saab owner as of about a month ago. I bought a 2001 9-3 so its considered an Old 93 compared to the newer bodystyle your looking at.

    As far as adding power the options that are out there for T7(engine managment system) are the staged kits.

    ^^^ this place has lots of good parts for these cars

    Since I havnt had the car too long I havnt had any issues so far, but the PO did have the turbo replaced under warrenty at 60K

    One thing your gonna notice is that the cost to tune the saabs are really high. At least compared to the Dubs and Bimmers Ive owned. I mean close to $1000 just for software is crazy :idb:

    Yea, that's the 9-2x...and I'd rather save some cash and just get that car if that's what I was after. Good lookin' out though.

    Hah, my uncle told me about the ECU upgrade that he wanted for his 9-5 Aero...that was $1,200. Thank you for the website! I'm going to keep the tuning relatively mild...I need to give that place a look. I'll probably go cosmetic first though...hah, anyone have some BBS RKs for me?

    Thanks again!
