Gary,
I have a 99 9-5 Wagon. I was looking for more power and asked my dealer
if he could reccomend any options. He contacted the SAAB USA engineers in Atlanta that said in theory I could put the ECU from a 99 Viggen although they said they had never actually tried it. I decided to risk it and my dealer replaced the standard ECU with the Viggen ECU. It has been almost 2 years since this was done and I have not had any problems to date that I would attribute to the ECU change. Like many folks I had my turbo replaced under warranty for the infamous blue smoke on start up. Other than that one repair my car has been fine. I change my oil every 5k with Mobil 1 and the car does not use any oil in between oil changes.
