Howdy, Im a super noob so bear with me. After replacing/checking all of the vacuum lines on my 99 9-3 SE, I'm still having issues with my boost. On a previous post it was noted I most likely had a vac line leak (which I did) or an issue with my BPC. After replacing/checking the vacuum lines my...

P1110 - BPC Valve Hoses Question Hello everyone (apologies for the misleading thread title, this is actually about the BPC Valve...) I've been trying to get to the bottom of a P1110 code in my 2001 9-5 (already replaced BCV on the firewall, the BPC up front and most of the small hoses in the...

Hey everyone! I seem to have developed a pretty significant issue with my 2001 9-3. It started when I couldn't reach full boost, which was just an inconvenience. Through regular maintenance, I replaced the spark plugs. I noticed the old ones looked much too white. That coupled with my boosting...

After checking the fusebox under the hood, I found that APC fuse #13 on my '98 900 SE Turbo was blown. Upon replacement, the 7.5 amp fuse blew again. Checked the resistance in the T5 BPC's coils. One was 3 ohms, the other was less than 1 ohm. I took out the ECU and tested the mosfets, and per...

Quick question, I have tested my BPC by doing 2 tests. On test 1 i disconnected the BPC electronically and took it for a drive. I was getting 1 pound. Then i plugged it back in and took the 2 bottom hoses and spliced them together. I took it for a drive and i was getting 6-7 pounds. Is that...

Another interesting turn of events for my goose. Good News: After some fiddling and a bit of WD-40, the microswitch for my top decided it wanted to play nice again, and started to work in the middle of a 30 mile commute this week. No more irritating SID chimes, for now. Removed the rear...

Hello folks, A little history on the problem my car is having. 2000 93 SE. 120K miles. Car would not start a couple weeks ago - troubleshot to faulty CPS and replaced sensor. Car started, but immediately seemed to have low (base) boost. Boost prior to was all the way to red. Have tried the...

Good news, after a few misdiagnoses, I have finally fixed the overboost issue on my T5 9-3. My searches and posts originally had me thinking it was the BPC. I attempted to clean BPC using WD-40, and giving it a few good taps to free up the valve; however, that didn't work. Next, I purchased an...

I'm converting my moody T5 BPC to the more reliable T7, and so I need that T7 BPC and wiring harness for it which contains two wires. I don't need the whole length of harness, but at least a couple feet to be safe. Not looking to pay more than 35-40 dollars shipped as a brand new BPC is about...

I need to find out for certain, once and for all, if the BPC is the problem in my car. I'm wondering if someone around Janesville, Milwaukee, or somewhere in between, has a Saab with the T5 BPC (Preferably running more than stock boost levels, perhaps 20 psi) who is willing to meet up and...

Car is a JZW 3+, with Viggen TD04 and big FMIC: I've still got my strange lurch during WOT. New NGK BCPR7es-11 plugs, gapped correctly and a newer DI. It will spike at nearly 30 and drop to about 22 and lurches, like a fuel cut, in that area. I was told the BPC is likely the culprit. I heard...

http://www.ericsaabsite.com/Upgrades/Stage3/BoostControl.html ALRIGHT so as stated in Erics description " An example is a wide open throttle accelerations, ECU control has max boost at 17 psi. The button is pushed to close the solenoid and the MBC takes over." After reading and...
