OK, my research found a number of refrences to the turbo used on the Saab 9000, and the early ones were all T-3's. However, some of the later ones used a "low boost' setup with a T25 or a small Mistu turbo......TD04 IIRC.

Oh, and one more thing about my plans is that I want to use a Megasquirt ECU which is speed density, eliminating the MAF sensor. I also plan on doing the engine management in stages. First, I plan on pulling another B14 ECU harness at the local u pull it and stripping it of everything not necessary for the Megasquirt to work with. Then, I will connect the Megasquirt to the engine and get it to run right on the stock engine. Once I learn how to tune it properly to make it run well stock, I will move on up to the turbo.This way, if it won't run on the Megasquirt, I can always plug the ECU and harness back in and have it going in the stock configuration. I also have a 4-6 month time frame to find everything I need at prices I can afford, giving me plenty of time to do research and examine other people's good and bad turbo setups. I would also appreciate any intelligent input on my plans/ideas as well as suggestions on books/magazines/websites to read ( I read SCC, Hot Rod and Car Craft right now-I also have 2 V8 cars I built from scratch). I am here to learn from those who know more than me.
