I'm not going to pretend to be the Saab ECU expert here, but I wouldn't install any ECU in a car unless it matched the exact part numbers from the original unit. Even then I would verify that the ECU came from a car with the same tranny type. The ECU's vary depending on FI type (e.g. LH 2.2 vs. LH 2.4.2), tranny type and so on. What I find particularly alarming is that you may have caused harm to other FI components by installing the incorrect ECU. I would suggest calling a Saab dealer and find out what the part numbers are (both Saab and Bosch #'s) for the original ECU and attempt to find a used one on a popular auction site, or a junkyard.
BTW- I've never heard of nor seen the upshift light flash like that before. By the sounds of everything the ECU that you have installed is not the proper unit for your car.
