in michigan its in our blood

this year has been the year for power with my car. finished the eco swap, enjoyed the power over the 2200, but i knew exactly what i wanted out of this motor. right now its not very pretty, but i'll take care of that later.



seeing about 9psi on a hard pull. the automatic transmission doesn't like the extra power very much

It almost looks like you have the breather hose from your valve cover hooked up to your turbo's cold side.

I like the setup, it looks more "factory" to me than most installs.

it slips quite a bit in all gears when under boost. The trans only has 56,000 miles on it so its fairly new.

Not quite 7, 4 engines and only 3 saab turbos, but close

I would, but I can’t live without it now, it has become part of me

I never doubted a thing. I have a lot of other plans for the car. I’m thinking of doing a manual swap next year if I have some extra cash. I found a local yard that will sell me a motor and a trans for $400.

No air filter. I’m trying to figure something out though. There is almost no room to mount one with the way my charge pipes are run.

Everyone else-thanks for the kind words. I’ll try and get some pictures of the intercooler up tomorrow.
