I posted in another thread, but then decided that this could become a discussion of its own, so a separate thread might be better.
I am building a hot rod. Powerplant is a B234 2.3L motor from a 1995 9000. Transmission is a T5 5-speed transmission. And I have tall rear tires because this is a traditional style hot rod I am trying to build.
I have been digging through the Saab Central forums for a while. I don't know if I have definitive answers to these questions, so any real input and suggestions would be awesome.
When answering these questions, keep these factors in mind: I want a little more HP than stock. maybe 240-250 HP and Torque. And since I have tall tires, I think torque might be more important. And I have the engine and ECU, but I do not have any of the turbo parts, exhaust manifold, boost controller, or any of that. So turbo suggestions do not have to bolt to the stock manifold. I will be making the manifold.
1. Which turbo should I go with? And I am not too familiar with turbos, so the more details you can give me, the better. Hell, even drop a link to one I can buy.
2. Since I am not familiar with turbos, and I don't have the complete stock engine, what would you suggest for boost control, wastegate, blowoff valve, and any other turbo accessories I might need.
Many thanks.
