Thinking about trading my big heavy loud maxima for a Saab 2.0t. I've been using an 07 for a lot car at work. Its going to wholesale and I'm thinking about a straight trade. I do love that car. Its got cheap plastics, but damn is that thing quick! Itd smack my semi built max.

+Braptard It sounds like you work at a dealer and may have access to tools to do a lot of work yourself, but if that's not the case, make sure you have / know a repair shop that specializes or works on these cars often. Definitely look at some How To's on YT and online for stuff to look for. If you encounter problems with it, SaabCentral is where you want to go first. It's a community of Saab Owners that stretch from Long Island to San Diego and even Europe. It'll save you money in diagnostic stuff and will save the shop a lot of trouble as well. Can't tell you how much it's saved me. Probably over $500 in repairs on my 05 Linear and I've only been on the site for 3 months. Lots of How to's, aesthetic mods, performance mods, tuners, etc. I'd recommend just making an account and poking around to see what you can find. I think you'll definitely like the B207R. Definitely recommend tuning. They can be relatively cheap and you can get some great increases in horsepower and torque.

It sold at the bid today sadly. Someone paid $4500 lmao I did like it but the plastics were really gm quality. I prefer the max anyway, already have a 2k but got 173k on the dash and I'm looking for something better. Thanks for the info though!

Yeh just bear in mind welding cast steel to stainless is an utter pig. The welds constantly crack, we used 309 filler which is for dismilar steels and had one of us on the oxy torch preheating everything, then the other one would weld, then once we had done that spot we would put the torch back on to try cool it slowly, and Peen the welds to stop it cracking. Took a lot of effort but got it eventually. I think if I had to do it again I would just build a manifold from scratch. Which is what I'm thinking about doing now ;) Thanks for the comment

The saab ECU known as trionic 5, has an open source ecu flashing program called T5 suite. The ecu is great and is better than most stand alones. The software is free, all you have to buy is a can-usb adapter and that means you can remap the car yourself.

It came off a sr20det making 300+ so it's somewhat reliable. With eBay turbos I think some are better made than others and even then it's hit and miss because the Chinese have no quality control. If you have the money for a new eBay turbo then you can also afford a used holset. Just get a holset

I got missold injectors, I was told they were 700cc but they turned out to be 120cc once I called bosch directly to check the part number, and the seller wouldnt give my money back so I had to go through paypal to get my money back. Then once I finally got real injectors in it, I took it for a drive and the manifold started leaking (not sure where yet). So I got fed up of it and left it for a few months. However I am making a new manifold (been working on it the past couple of days) and a new holset (even bigger!) turbo :) lol. So I have only done a little bit of work since, so I dont think its worth making a 2 minute episode. So I will wait until the manifold is complete.
