i've capped off the nipples on the boost controll solenoid that used to run to the turbo nipple and the wastegate, but left the line coming from the bottom of the solenoid and tapped it into the coffee cup (i'm not sure if this was nessisary, but figured why not). i've pressure tested my ic setup as...

okay so i recently noticed after doing the coffee cup mod that that my boost pressure had dropped from 11psi to 9 :?. i gave the boost controller a turn and it was back in the 11-12 range. while driving on the highway i noticed that the power was very inconsistent. i stepped on the gas and hit fuel ...

Thanks! To do the 90 turbo out I used the original charge pipe and cut it at the correct angle and diameter to mate up to the exhaust piping. The charcoal canister is still there just out of the frame. The coolant tank fits perfectly between the canister and the air box. I made a bracket and fixed i...

Okay so I definitely need to go get my eyes checked because I found the problem. The line running from the intake resonator to the intake mani near the throttle body had a kink in it. Undo the kink, problem solved. Man I should be wearing a helmet.

Just thought I'd show off my completed project. Thanks New92 for the ic! I also replaced the coolant tank with the wrx version. I can say now from experience that it is an absolutely worth while mod. Sooo much better than stock. I turned the boost up to 11 and shizza is there a big difference! Here'...

Thanks! Now if I can only get it to run. I'll definitely do a pressure test and see what happens. Thanks again for the input!

Here are some pics: http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj237/mcklingler/DSCF0292.jpg It's 2.25'' exhaust pipe with a 3/4''bung for the bpv. http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj237/mcklingler/DSCF0288.jpg Wide shot http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj237/mcklingler/DSCF0290.jpg [/img]

Okay so I checked the intake and all the vacuum lines and everything is connected. I also disconnected the o2 sensor and reset the ecu...nothing. It just cant seem to idle. I'm at a loss.

I actually did the intercooler and resonator replacement yesterday and the o2 sensor today. It's possible that a hose slipped off in the process of replacing the sensor. I'll check it all in the morning and see what's up. Thanks for the help.

I did just install a saab intercooler and had to re-install the snorkus thing (coffee cup broke). Is this more of an intake issue? I thought I had checked all my connections. I had a small cold idle issue yesterday and this morning, but once it warmed up it was good to go. Since the o2 sensor this a...

So I pulled the ecu codes the other day and found that I had a code 32 oxygen sensor trouble code. I went by autozone and they quoted me $98.00 for a new o2 sensor, but I'm a broke college student and I wanted to do it on the cheap. I got a single wire universal sensor for $16.00 and was proud of my...

sounds like a good deal PM'd.

never ended up happening. the douchetard that i won it from never came through and i never got a refund. oh well. at the moment my leggy is still intercoolerless... my plan now is to try to round up an FXT ic or 06/07 wrx ic. i would like to get a td05 and do the install at the same time. just need ...

Nice. The saab it is. I just had a couple more questions. I was thinking about leaving the coolant tank in its current location, but rotating it so that the nipples face the driver side strut tower using the existing bracket. Would this work or should I move to a different location. Also I'm trying ...

Hey i'm new to posting around here, but have been reading pretty religously. I recently won a saab 900 ic all aluminum 10 fin off ebay. I know that this is one of the rare euro editions, but was wondering if its worth going through the install process or should i sell it in exchange for an 06 wrx tm...
