I'll see if I can get them all:
1)What's included? What we did (previous owner, MTAERO, and clsoe friend) was replace the turbo, oil and coolant lines. We were able to get this from someone who knew about the mod and understood what was needed. I believe it came off of an existing Aero so all of the parts were there. An EBAY seller called MAINLINE SAAB has the kits advertised. They are actually a SAAB dealer in the Pitsburgh area. They are very knowedgable. I stumbled on them while looking for wheels and then checked their other sales and found the upgrade kits with turbo and lines advertised.
Good luck. If you have more q's, go over to the PERFORMANCE section and send a question out to MTAERO. He really knows more about this than I do.
2)Previous owener (MTAERO on this site) did the work. It was fairly straight forward. I'm not sure how much it cost. I know he got a great deal on the turbo and lines so it was not more tha $500.
3) Performance: WOW! I don't have specific numbers. After the car is all back together, we'll put the 'ol GTEC on it and see. I'm estimating about 270hp and 300ft/lbs. The car pulls very hard, much faster than my Porsche 968. It has a limited slip diff and will still make 1st and 2nd somewhat useless. I must add that this car also has the Abbot ECU that probably makes more of an impact than the turbo.
4) I would recommend this mod to anyone wanting a resonably inexpensive upgrade. I beleive for less than $2000 for ECU AND Trubo kit, it will transform your car. That's really cheap performance when you compare it to other mods.
