Swiped from another site, saved me typing:
No. Most of these "chips" are things that fake the IAT (intake air temp sensor) out and give dubious results if not bad for your engine. there are no chips to replace in your car's computer. Tuning is done by flashing new parameters into the computer's flash memory and it is not done arbitrarily but it is adjusted based off of measurements from the engine and other sensors. That chip is snake oil.
Actual Saab 9-5 V6 tuned ECU:

Hardly worth the effort for 20hp. The V6 is not very tunable.
