/\ Dude start a new thread for the love of GOD!!!!

Econewb have you looked into the manifold, I did say that the Saab's have a different head on the Eco than the normal one, which means that the exhaust manifold bolts may not line up. Be sure to check into that.

Question: Can I use the 2003+ 2.0 Saab Turbo manifold on my 2.2/2.0/2.4? (ECOtecs)

Yes. Same bolt pattern.

There were some changes to the head and cams.

The head should be the same as the LSJ.
