They were rated to 170 BHP on the B234 engine variant. Just an ECU upgrade and it's up to the 200 BHP or 230 BHP standard. The money Abbott (or whoever) charge for ECU upgrades leaves me thinking it would be worth buying a crashed Aero and swiping the box! Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
