I have a feeling my turbo is going....soon.

I have a warranty on my car that would most likely replace it for free (not sure tho because of my mods--hope i didnt void anything http://www.saablink.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif


So what are my options if I want to upgrade? I want something that will bolt right up.

All I know about is the Aero turbo with the 6cm housing compared to my 5cm housing, but is that even worth the money to upgrade if i can get a 5cm for free?

The other one i heard of is the Garrett GT series turbos. Do these bolt right up?

I know I will need new software which wont be a problem because Jak would be able to set me up nicely i hope, but anything else I would need? (I'm thinking im gonna need injectors with a bigger turbo)


So what are my options? Anyone have either the Aero or GT series turbo on their car?

Since you are going w/ Jak for an ECU. He will be able to recommend a turbo and supporting hardware that would be needed in an upgrade. You can also look into setups others have done. The basics of any turbo upgrade apply here. However, if you use a non-SAAB turbo (eg. Garrett GT's) you have to figure in time and extra work needed to make it all fit and work just right.
