...any experience out there - options, costs, pros, cons, gotchas etc etc

Is it obvious that the starting point is (the Saab side of )TSL???
- as in http://www.trentsaab.co.uk??

Don't need 'victorian novel' replies - just a few pointers

TIA
Martin

I was considering this for my 900SE turbo

but was quoted around £600+ anything extra they might find needs renewing.

plus you really need a performance exhaust and ideally a better
dump valve

so about £1000 altogether to go from 180-220 bhp

I didnt think it worth it as its hard keeping the front wheels
from spinning as standard.
I had the suspension lowered and new Bilsteins and new brakes instead
and it does handle alot better - not as much wallowing.

Thumbs up

Check the "New Generation 900" forum on saabnet.com -- there's a lot of debate there. Oddly enough, many people just use a Dawes Device ... but let's not start that debate all over again ...

Abbott Racing and Hirsch are the other well-known Saab tuners.
