Saab owner from Sweden

Hi all,

I've been lurking the forums for probably a few years but never got around to register since I've never had anything to ask or reply, but I've gotten a lot of good info from this forum.

My project car is a Saab 9-3 Vector MY05 (B207L), where most important things has been upgraded (turbo, complete exhaust, camshafts, injectors, intercooler, clutch, quife lsd, chassis, brakes.... yeah you get it).

Cheers,
Jan

We use T8Suite for tuning.

Currently it's setup with 80lb Dekas and a TD04L-16T, running E85.
This season I'm going to put a TD04L6-04H 19TK3S 8.5T (twinscroll, 19t extended tip) on it.
I've got all the parts sourced, just need the spare time to build the new downpipe and slap those things on there.

It's dipped Gun Metal Grey.
And here are some pics of it:

Nice ride - looks great.

And welcome to the forum - I did the same thing; I would bounce on and off the boards for years and then finally decided to register a couple years ago.

Jan, do you have a GoPro? If so, post some vids cruising up and down Sweden roads so us stateside folk can check it out!

Also, what are you lowered on?

Thanks.

I'll mount my phone on the dash and get some video for you guys soon, going to the racetrack in two weeks for the first track meet this year with Saab Turbo Club of Sweden.

It's 30mm lowering springs and Bilstein B8 shocks on it, and the wheels are 19"
I need some spacers though to get the wheels further out.

We make our own tunes using T8suite.

Here is a bonuspic from a dynosession last year.
(unfortunatly no results to share because we hit some torque limiters in the software since the rear wheels didn't move and that's where it gets the speed signal)
