Here are some words from the Saab Media Site:
Saab Automobile Powertrain's expert knowledge and experience of turbocharging is recognized by its role as a Center of Expertise within General Motors for the development of turbocharged gasoline engines. Saab Automobile Powertrain AB, part of GM Powertrain Europe, was therefore closely involved in the conceptual design and development of GM's new global V6 engine architecture, ensuring it included the possibility of a turbocharged application.
The advanced 2.8-liter V6 Turbo, launched in the Saab 9-3 SportCombi, includes: lightweight, all-aluminum construction; variable valve timing; a twin-scroll turbocharger; unique cylinder heads, pistons and con-rods, and hydroformed exhaust manifolds with stainless steel liners and air injection for improved cold start emissions. The result is the most sophisticated turbocharged engine to be installed in a Saab, delivering strong power and torque, together with the high level of refinement and excellent low-speed pick-up characteristics associated with a large capacity, six cylinder engine.
