Oops I meant to send that message to the group. here it is again Wouldn't bother with the V6 its not a proper Saab engine. Torque from the turbos is what you need. I've got a 9000 CSE 2.0 lpt had it for nearly 5 years and have only had one exhaust and a new battery in 77K mls. The dump valve on the turbo started to stick at about 66K and Saab dealer wanted £800 to change the turbo. I took it to my local garage and he freed it with WD40 and compressed air for £20 !
