My experience in my 2004 ARC yes it allowed for high speed, just wouldn't hold idle effectively, it was a defective TB, occured while traveling from Denver to Buff, cruising around 55 and punched the gas pedal to pass and CEL lights up, boost and rpm were limited but continued on the journey to Buffalo NY before checking in with a local dealer. This is where one of my more memorable SAAB experiences occurred, while waiting on the repair I asked the service mgr if they see a lot of TB failures, at that time my car was under 20k miles. He replied - "no they don't fail unless you are using cheap gas like they sell on the Indian reservation"
I assurred him I don't - but actually I have always when visiting WNY because my in laws had a cottage a short drive from the Seneca Indian reservation where no taxes were levied so yes cheap gas.
But to have the service mgr make an ignorant comment like that on several levels - well he should have been scalped and burnt at the stake.
