As far as I can tell, you've been posting on this forum for less than two weeks. Justin knows his stuff, and has been posting on this board for a decade or more. If you plan to hang around and do something besides become the resident troll, plan on gaining some humility. If you persist in the nasty tone, Scott Paterson will send you packing rather quickly.

Steven Mitchem has been asking horsepower and performance questions for a month or two (so he didn't need a lecture on why he shouldn't upgrade his performance), and your post was riddled with errors. Justin could have been more harsh and your taking offense is almost comical. For instance:

The red top injectors (Bosch #0280150431) are, in fact, quite commonly and correctly referred to as 34 lb. injectors (see link below), as well as 30 lb injectors. It depends on the pressure applied. You'll also find them listed as 31 lbs @43 psi.

The first Windows computer was not introduced in 1995. Windows 3 came out in 1990, and the first Windows operating system (although of little commercial consequence)was introduced in 1986. A Windows 95 computer is plenty powerful, just quite slow by today's standards - It'll run AutoCAD and sophisticated finite element scientific models (if I'm willing to wait for them). I still keep a Windows 95 laptop around and would probably still be using it regularly for most office applications if Microsoft hadn't stopped supporting it with security upgrades. They were hardly "cave man basic". Speech recognition and gaming - not so much.

The Saab turbo does not boost at a steady 7 psi (not at least when the APC is working correctly). Base boost is about 6 psi and most cars in good tune make 10-12 psi when they boost to the yellow/red line on the dashboard boost gauge. The APC box is, in fact, a small analog computer as is the EPC, and they do in fact monitor and control both air flow and fuel mixture. So your statement that "Back in the era of the 900 they didn't have a computer to monitor air/fuel mix" is flat out wrong. They are primitive compared to modern fuel injection, but still provide adequate results in those respects. The whole purpose of the APC in the first place was to provide a relatively safe, variable boost.

There is certainly room for improvement in the EPC and APC as well as in their peripherals/monitors, which is what modding your vehicle is all about. The stock set-up is the lowest common denominator, designed to appeal to a mass market. yada, yada, yada.

I could go on, but why bother. Eat some crow, accept you were wrong and apologize.
