This engine was put in the 2006-2009 9-3 Aero, and the 2010-2011 NG9-5 Aero and Turbo^6. The 9-3 was available with a 6-spd manual, but the 9-5 was only automatic. In the early 9-3's it made 250 hp, later 9-3's it was 280, and in the 9-5 it made 300hp. It's a cool engine. Completely unrelated to the old 9-5 V6 3.0t, it uses both banks of cylinders to turn its twin-scroll turbocharger, and has three timing chains (one for each bank, and one connecting the two to the drive shaft.
I have it in my 2008 9-3 Turbo-X. The XWD definitely saps some power out of it, but it hauls ass. I get about 16.5 mpg around town and 24 on the highway.
