If that is the case (CDE versus some other model) it does not have a turbo gauge. It has what saab refers to as a Low Pressure Turbo (and the E stands for Economy ... as the car is supposed to use less fuel than a full pressure turbo). Since I started writing I see two more replies and I am tempted to agree with Laura. In the UK though, for insurance purposes they are both classed as Turbo. Also in the UK a low case 't' means LPT and a capital 'T' means full pressure turbo. Hope it helps muddle the waters. Charles :-) -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
