I'm not sure, but i think a couple of those variants may be discontinued now.. I know the new high-end engine in the saab is a Twin-Turbo 2.8 DOHC 60°V6.

Yeah...now they have the 2.0L 210hp version as the low power engine in the 9-3 and a 2.3L 260hp version as the high output engine in the 9-5. That 2.8L is a twin turbo? I just looked it up on the Saab website and It doesn't specify, just says 2.8 turbo V6 with 250hp. Either way, single or twin, I can imagine that engine has a lot of potential. A modded Saab 9-3 that can hand a mildly built Supra or Evo its ass....hmmm...

looks like I fudged that one a little, the new saab V6 has a twin-scroll turbocharger..

It also has 10:1 compression.

But to stay on topic, the turbo parts for use on an ecotec can not come from a 9^5 or any other 2.3 lire saab.

Exactly. To fit anything on the Eco you'd need to use the 2.0 saab Eco engine for the parts.

And on the turbo V6....10:1 compression and a twin scroll turbine = holy throttle response. I'm sure the pistons and rods are already forged, just a question of how much power they can take. Still, I'd drop compression to 8.5 or 9, swap to a little bit larger turbo with a front mount intercooler, P&P the heads, do a full turbo-back 3" or even 3.5" exhaust, and then get everything tuned to around 15-20psi. That would be one fast Saab sleeper that nobody would expect.

Then again...who would expect to get beat by a turbo Alero.....
