Nice lookin car. How much do those things weigh? I have about 200hp out of the 1.9T in my Volvo and it weighs slightly less than 2800 pounds so it feels pretty quick too.

It weighs 3300lbs, I want to get a new ecu, it will bump it up to 285hp and it ups the torque quite a bit also, have to save for that though, not sure if it will void my warranty either. I'm happy with it as it is for now.

warrenty will most likely void with an ecu. Which one are you looking at....nordic, sqr, bsr, maptun? Or one of those handheld thingy's that cost 2k? Also what stage ecu are you looking at, and do you have any supporting mods to go for it?

Im debating on whether to pick up a stage 3 this spring, or wait till I get my viggen turbo on and do the stage 4.

This one Caught my eye,BSR Stage 2 PPC Upgrade come with full exhaust system and will bump up it up too 275 hp and a torgue increase of 138, I have looked at another one but I'll have too try and find it again, I came across it by accident and the website was all in swedish but I got the idea, that bumped it to 285 hp, I would like to find it again, i believe the cost is similar, around $1500. I found the first ECU here

Yep, BSR has some pretty cool stuff.

CHeck out GenuineSaab.com for plenty of parts for your car, and he has plenty of info and help. The guy who runs it has a nutty viggen, and you can call his cell and bother him with product questions and he doesnt mind.

The ppc setups are pretty pricey, but thats what you get with your fancy electronics.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to have a look.
