The APC system is present only on older turbocharged SAAB:s it was later incorporated in the Trionic system, still only on turbos. The red box ist an APC box that would allow for a higher pressure and not dropping the pressure so fast if I remeber correctly. I dont think that you can get 200 hp from an 2.3 Injection, at least not with out heavy tuning. /Mats
