Hate to burst your bubble, coolknight, but the saturn engine has direct igntion and a timing chain. The saab addition will simply be trionic and a turbo, and maybe a lower compression ratio.

I would not be surprised to see the saturn 2.2L transplanted directly to a base saab. It has 147 ft-lbs of flat torque, and can move a light car quite smartly.
