Trent Saab (http://www.trentsaab.co.uk) make an aftermarket *replacement* for "all turbos, including 9-3 & 9-5", so I think this is a fair indication that there should be one to actually replace. I've not noticed one in the two C900 turbos that I have owned, but then I'm not sure I know what to look for. If you find it doesn't have one, it might well be worth fitting one. I know I get more than a bit worried about gaskets blowing out on my Aero when the oil pressure gauge is showing 70+ PSI. My Aero is being rebuilt at the moment, but I intend to have a Trent Saab PCV, along with a fuel-pressure regulator and a dump/blow-off valve, fitted once the bulk of the work has been done. Anyone else know anything about this issue? Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
