Sup Y’all!? Who knew that A SAAB could be kinda a Fun car!? I’ve Just installed a New Turbo in my 2007 93 AERO WAGON that I got for $1000…it Ran good(Actually I’ve Worked on it DAILY since I got it) but the Turbo HAD to be Replaced! Never done that Before and OMFG it was a LITERAL BASSTID. But I’m ironing out some stuff…

@Aarthology, yesterday evening (local Dutch time) i joked about the open air filter and hinted you to another topic, about an open air filter+ the intercooler and explained about the cooling function of the air with help of the intercooler.
The cooler the air is what flows into an engine, the more oxygen that do air contain, but, with an open air filter, which do suck hot air, straight from an engine room which is much hotter as the air outside of the engine room, the function of the intercooler is for a big part/almost been completely ruined.
Let's say, it is a number "out of my thumb", the intercooler cools the air what flows through it, after been compressed and heated up by the turbo, with 25°C and the air what has gone through the air filter did rice with (again just a number for now) 20°C caused by the hot air from the engine room, what is then the effect of the intercooler?
At least a reduced effect, but more likely a very marginal or (almost) useless effect.
Cooler air into the engine, what contains more oxygen, allows to put in more fuel, more fuel and more oxygen together will at the end give more power and is something what counts for any engine, with or without a turbo and then it depends on if there is an intercooler or not, at the end the intercooler.
Even an engine with even the most simplistic carburetor, 2 valves per cylinder, let's go back in time and select a very basic Chevrolet150/One-Fifty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_150) from the 1950's, do give the most effect/horsepower with as cool as possible air for the combustion.
If you want to have an air filter with low resistance, keep it to an element what do have the identical measurements and directly fits inside the original filter housing, what allows to get as cool as possible air to flow into the engine, what did come from outside the hot engine room.

Everything of this reply, but with other and as less as possible words:
Keep the air what flows into any engine as cool as possible.
Ya I kno. But it Has such a Cool turbo spool and blow off sound. Igs actually got an entire Cold
Air kit thats Universal and Itll put the Filter down into the fender well. I’ve pulled all the factory tubing and seeing as how I pulled the right fender lining ℹ thot I’d construct a Functioning Cold(er) air set up. Basically ℹ Ordered 2 separate Intake styles from EBay and ima fab it to put right down that hole in the Right side lower air box feed. I’ll post Picks, or I’ll put it BACK cuz I have to smog it Soon.
