Actually from what I have read, the saab is easier/cheaper to modify. Sure a 1.8T can be chipped to about 200 HP for a few hundred bucks but getting any more then that requires a new turbo. European car did a test a while back & noticed the turbo/engine running extremely hot with simple spirited city driving with equivelang power to a Viggen/Aero motor. The saab simply needs a chip which probably costs twice what the VW's does but also brings the power to higher levels then the aero/viggen
