SQRSaab's 1999 Saab 9-3


SQRSaab's 1999 Saab 9-3

This page is STILL Under construction

Coming soon will be pictures and descriptions of how I have brought this beast to the power levels described.

World renown Saab tuner Frank Stroemqvist has personally hand tuned the engine management software. Assumed to be "Stage Retarded" but will guess Stage VII.

Best part about the vehicle is the enormous power band. I guess to have 480 Nm available from 2900 RPM straight through 5000 RPM with redline at 7000. Dyno sheets to come.

Mods include:

Garrett Ball Bearing GT2871R Turbo AKA Disco Potato's Big Brother Old intake and New intake
