Saab IC install, very worthwhile
Got my saab intercooler and piping from blackbart today (thanks!) installed and put boost at 12lbs....
really amazing difference in power(WOW) and spool time(just a tad longer), it is really great and worth your while.
i also relocated the coolant tank a lil while back, 5ft of 1/2" hose and 2ft of 5/16" hose and i used every inch it was perfect. i suggest getting just a lil more hose than that though.
like my duct tape air splitter?

Or 3 broken plastic nipples..... Like mine were when I bought the car.
That looks great! I will be doing the same very soon.

Right on!
I remember when I installed my first TMIC (it was a saab 900 too) and it was soooo cool. The sound is awesome too, huh?

yeah i would like to do more now since this turned out so great. how much boost do people usually put through the saab IC's with the vf-11? im gonna rig up a VRG FCD here soon. im running at just below boost cut, 12lb's.
i would really like to get a wrx IC to work, might try that next, using the stock y pipe and all.
as for sound, turbo noise isnt much louder since i already have a downpipe it is the noisiest. the stock BPV makes a flutter noise which is kinda funny or "cute" hahaha

That's all I'm gonna probably run, at least until I get bored and build the FCD.....

I know that.
I figure I'll get bored with the power I'm making, then build the FCD so I can up it a bit more.
I have seen poeple running as much as 15 PSI with a similar setup on the stock turbo, but that's pushing the efficiency range of the turbo.

I think that's pushing the fuel system.
I'm honestly not sure where the MAF signal tops out. I'm gonna get EM, larger injectors (already got the fuel pump) and a larger turbo before I try anything too drastic, though.
Either that, or do an STI drivetrain swap. whatever I get the money and time for.

ya i am debating going EJ20G.. but im not sure yet, maybe just blow this one up first.
i have a wrx pump in, but would like some bigger injectors and some kinda EM.
im guessing that my MAF sensor is maxxed out, which just means it will start running lean up top, feel faster, and then blow up haha. might try gettin a wrx top mount on there again, just for fun.

I don't think your MAF should be maxing out so soon. I've got a TD04 at 16psi on my stock MAF, although I've never measured it's voltage. IIRC, someone on here measured theirs with a 16G and maxed out at about 15 psi. I do have a bad memory though!

If you're reading that from the scan tool.....it's not right.

ok thanks, so im maxxing the MAF
the scantool showed it slowy increasing to like 4.9 and then at like 5750 in 4th @ 10psi it went to 5.1...
so would bigger injectors and an SAFC help here? i could tone down what MAF voltage the ECU sees, so it wouldnt fuel as much except that with bigger injectors i could find a middle ground.
