Its the pistons that are weak, put in a set of je pistons from Nick at gs and you will be golden, vigge just made 493whp with his viggen 2.3 motor with forged pistons, the rest of the bottom end is stock!
The other option would be to run a 9k b234r engine and use you're viggen head and intake manifold on it....
Its not that the 2.3 motor is bad, the 9000 aero with 2.3 motor is known as one of the most robust engines out there for the saabs and it has made 500bhp with stock internals, the 2.0 motor in t5 uses the same exact block and head, the only difference is the 2.3 is a stroked motor, has different crank, rods and pistons, other than that, they are the same.
I would say put in a set of je pistons and call it good for up to 500bhp.
