  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Dear Friends: Ebay has a decent-looking new wastegate, and I am wondering if it will fit my car. The seller asked me if I have a Garrett TB 2559 turbo in my 1998 900 SE. Also, their wastegate is spec 0.35 bar / 5-6 psi. Is this right? HELP ME. My original wastegate is rusty and sticky. It's...
  2. C900 Workshop
    So my base boost was pretty sad, barely into the yellow, and I narrowed it down to a tired wastegate actuator. I ended up picking up a spring set from napa for 6 dollars and used a spring that was as close to the one Peva showed he had used on his: My bracket didn't look anything like...

    Ive narrowed down my turbo issues on my 92 turbo to the wastegate actuator. I'm going to pick up a kinugawa one here: http://shopping.kinugawaturbo.com/ki...184-02000.aspx My questions are, 1) can I go with a .8 or 1 bar spring with an otherwise stock setup or will I be running too lean? 2)...

    Hi Saab peeps Re. Saab 9-3 2.2 TID I recently replaced my EGR valve as the spring was goosed. On to the next problem I took the car for a good run on the motorway and when I reached high revs it went into limp mode. When I got home I put diagnostics on and it, flagged (P0244 - Powertrain...
  7. 9-5 Workshop
    Hoping someone can help me out here. My 01 9-5 2.3L base model turbo went and I replaced it with one I had in a box of parts. The replacement turbo came with an engine I bought for another project and was reported to have 92k miles. The newturbo is not blowing smoke but I have no boost and...

    All, Last night i removed the cir clip on my wastegate actuator, and rotated the arm clockwise two full rotations. This is said to have raised the base boost level by .04 bar. driving last night and this morning briefly, i have noticed slightly quicker spool, and more consistent WOT boost...
  9. 9000 Workshop
    Having a problem w/my 95 9000 Aero. I'm a novice so if I say the wrong term, plz don't bust on me. I just bought this car. Ran awesome. When the car would go into base boost, I could hear an air sound then it would boost. I assume that was normal (and it was fun). I hotrodded up my hill...

  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Good morning all, I have an appointment with a SAAB specialist to get this issue checked out, but before I do I'd like an idea of what I might be up against... The issue with my '99 9-3S (T5) is that the wastegate is chronically sticking. It is the wastegate itself and not the actuator that is...
  12. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    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...
  13. 9000 Performance, Mods & Tuning
    if you have successfully done one or more of these mods, any advice would be appreciated. Background on my car: 1986 900T with 208k miles. 1) Best place to install Manuel Boost control. I think that the input comes off of the solenoid connecting to the turbo, and the output again comes of the...
