Greetings saab owners, I plan on buying a saab 9 3 with the 2.3t 230hp engine. I am not really a saab person, i wasn't interested in saabs before, but they are quite nice. From what I've read the 2.3t is the best to reach more hp - I would be happy with 300hp for a daily car. My questions are: Should i get forged pistons.. rods.. etc? I mean how much hp can the stock engine hold? I read today that If you want to reach more than 300hp you must replace injectors, fuel pump, pistons with forged ones. Is it hard to reach 300hp? Only a remap makes this engine 260hp. Whats the stock turbo on this, which bigger one should i look for? Is it safe to build more than 300hp with stock internals for a long lasting period?
Saab 2.3t more hp, more power

It says that 9 3 has that engine, nevermind its my mistake. I don't mind the model - all saabs look cool, lets say the saab 9 5 year 2000, something like that i like the most. Sorry i still haven't learned all of saab models. My goal is 300hp on the 2.3t engine.
What about turbo? stock? what boost?
