and I may not have much information here, it seems that the 9000 turbos lasted and the NG900 and 9-5 turbos don't. If they had it right before, why did they change it.
Perhaps they had to go to cheaper suppliers and got cheaper parts and that is why they are failing.
I love saabs and I love this board, I just feel frustrated about the turbos and the sludging (which was not a concern with the 9000 2.3)
What if the engineers had kept the 9000 2.3 and just dropped it into the 9-5? Why did they tinker with success?
