I know stock on the saabs is about 12.5psi. But thats also computer regulated.
I'm running about 7-8psi right now....
Had it at 8-9 for a little while.
Stock Internals.
slocav do you have a boost controller or anything? also what fuel mods do you have?
I'm running 6-7 with the mitsu turbo I'm running a cartech fmu and lsj injectors
I had mine at 6psi to start out... leaving the wastegate in the stock position.
Like that I ran a 13.8@99 mph in the 1/4.
I upped it to 9 for a while. I dynoed it at 9psi and it put down 200hp / 270ft/lb to the wheels.
I ran it at 15 for a day... with the fuel mods I had the car didnt like it.
btw, you dont need a boost controller to adjust the boost. You can always adjust the wastegate bar as long as you dont plan on adjusting it every day, its really easy.

wow 270 ft/lbs on 9 psi? do you have the dyno chart, or can you at least share what the torque curve looked like? It peaked early and dropped off hard by redline right?
Brandon to adjust the wastegate bar how Is it? U adjust it shorter for more boost and longer for less? I'd like to adjust mine this way wen I up the boost
To adjust the wastegate I think it was shorter = more pressure. I could be wrong since I havent done it in so long. You will kow pretty quick after adjusting it though.
The way my car made power was really funky. I hit peak tq below 3k rpm, then as soon as the tq starts dropping off the hp goes up. This made for an insanely fun daily driver. The car felt fast no matter where I was. I wish I would have taken it to the track on 9psi.
I do have a dyno chart...

I have just a boost controller that looks like a home depot one lol.
I'm honestly not sure what it is, T2 would know....
As far as I know, the fuel injectors are stock ecotecs.
And it is on the Supercharger tune from GM
I'd like to find some Injectors soon, would there any be any vast improvement?
im unsure but i know im running 42lb green tops with a FMU made by skunk tuned with hpt so i know for a fact i have the fuel... and brandonson thanks for the input on the shortening of the wategate im going to try to find more information about this to double check whay way to move it thanks again to everyone
