New 9-3 owner

Hello. I have been lurking and searching on various topics and figure I'd make some noise on the forum.
Just acquired a 2000 9-3 manual for free from a relative. The car needs some maintenance (motor mounts, thermostat, rear brake calipers, power window regulators, control arm bushings), but the body is in excellent shape and, even more importantly, the engine and transmission are still great.
I've owned a ludicrous number of 9000 turbos and a couple 900 classic turbos. I alternate between a 944 Turbo and an getrag-swapped R50 Mini Cooper prepared for H-stock, and, to be honest, I thought my Saab days were over. I didn't really like the T7 and after cars.
Boy was I mistaken! After pressure testing and sealing up the intake system, this car freaking rips. I almost don't believe the 210 ft/lb figure in the specifications. I've had some pretty fast cars, and this thing keeps me surprised. I was looking into the Brew City Boost ECU flash, but at this point I might just leave it as is and complete the maintenance.
Anyways, just saying hi. Saabnet rocks.
