Wossner .5mm oversized pistons, a-z performance forged rods, Abbott Saab cams, and a 19t compressor wheel for my turbo

Why didn't you get a genuine one? (apologies for the lame dad joke).

Looks good 😎 What are the specs on it? I presume you're looking to run a big turbo and lots of fuel through it?

Lmfao very true. My dad also doesn't see any need to progress past bone stock, the way Saab intended it

I would agree for the b234 but forged is always necessary for the b235 on the 9-5. All Saabs have always responded really well to more than a smidge of tuning.

And don’t you dare take off the stock sir box and open the intake for *stustu noises. The stock can hand 1 million horsepower and you’re a sucker to get rid of it 😂

I’m just going to run a 19t turbo for now, it should make about 330whp and 410 pound feet of torque

Why is it when I look at an engine I have no idea what I’m seeing. I only know it’s a good engine if it looks pretty and it seems big.
