I just bought a 96 Saab 900 SE this past weekend. So far it is an awesome car and has a lot of features for a 1996 vehicle. It has no apparent problems, but i have one question. Since this is my first car with a turbo i have a question about the turbo gage. It seems to go into orange and red relatively fast, is this normal, does it just mean shift you dumbass, or what? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question. Thanks.
Sorry that i originally posted this in the wrong forum, I'm just a noob with this forum. haha. I do love the way it presses me into my seat, haha. I was just a little worried that it shouldn't be in the red zone, but as long as its not a big deal than i am happy thanks for your help
how far does your gauge go into the red mark? the stock gauge isnt exactly all that accurate. but normally stock it will only spike maybe just at the line or a hair into red for a second then drop back to just under red. either way it should be fine. and by no means is the gauge an indicator to shift
my 96 se has a little *shift up* light, lol. its right at 2k rpms tho and i usually rev up higher for more power, and my gauge shoots into the yellow pretty fast when i put my foot down on the gas but its never gotten too far into the red. i love the feeling of it too, id never been in a turbocharged car before i got this, now i dont ever wanna go back : )
