What are the design differences between the 2.0 and the 2.3 4 cyl Saab engines sold in the US? Are they the same engine block, just bored out? If they are different engines, then why does Saab market two engines with the same horsepower? Is the 2.3 engine a significantly better design than the 2.0 engine? How does Saab design and build these engines to support turbochargers? Are they the same design as they would be without the Turbos, or did Saab redesign valves, pistons, cranks, and so forth? Goggles
