I have a 90 900S, non-turbo. What I did was installed the K&N air filter kit from Swedish Dynamics. Noisier, but made a difference that I felt on the seat-of-the-pants. My next move was to replace the catalytic converter with a straight pipe. I used an old converter for the flanges so I could replace the straight pipe with the original converter when or if the need arises(no emmissions here). That by far was a huge gain.
My next move will be headers coming next month. I also have another 16V for parts, of which I will have the cylinder head worked and a possible cam replacement.
I know that I will not be able to match the power of a turbo, but that is not my goal. I commute 130 miles through high desert 5 days a week and am trying to get more power for passing and substained high speeds.
I hope that these ideas will get you started as far as getting the most out of your 900 n/a.
