(non convertible) With a turbo car, any cold air is going to get very warm once it has gone through the charger. To that end, a better intercooler is always going to be a good purchase, but IIRC the NG900 has a pretty good intercooler anyway. You could always look at putting a more open air filter into your intake and perhaps ensure that air is ducted up towards it. > Also, with out upgrading my exhaust, (which is after market, yet stock) > am I wasting my money! I am tired of hearing my friend (who drives a > cobra) says it will improve my horse power and increase my speed! Doubtful! I'm not sure what the stock size is for the NG900, but the C900 is 2.25". 2.5" is good for around 300 BHP and 3" is for serious power nuts ... Or people who want a noisy exhaust :) I think yours will be about 2.5". If you do want to gain a little power in the exhaust, spend your money on a free-flow catalyser, or "Sports cat". Maybe 5 BHP? I'm sure they'll quote 10 BHP, but I wouldn't be too swayed by that. Increasing the boost is the way to more power. Reckon on 5 BHP per 1 PSI of boost increase. You can get good software maps from Maptun for your ECU. They're costly, but people do rate them. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
