Abbott Motor Sports Trionic Box

I would like to hear from anybody who has experience with an Abbott Motor
Sports Trionic upgrade. Their literature claims a nice increase in
horsepower over stock for the 2.0 L powered NG 900 turbo. Even better, it
shows much improved torque, both quantity and when peak occurs.

First, I would like to hear from anybody with first-hand experience. Are
their claims true? If they are true, what is sacrificed for the performance
gains? Driveability? Reliability?

I have been told that 'chip-tuning' can lead to issues such as hot start/hot
idle problems, check engine lights that can't be extinguished, very poor gas
mileage, etc. In other words, general driveability issues. There is no free
lunch in this world, so there must be some tradeoff, right?

While I am looking specifically at this as it applies to the NG 900 turbo, I
would like to hear from anybody with experience as it relates to a SAAB,
regardless of model or year.

Ultimately what I am trying to decide is this: Do I keep my beloved '97 SET,
which is paid for, or bite the bullet and buy the 5-door Viggen that I lust
after?

The collective wisdom of the group is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike Pound
