oh geez, really not sure because I didnt personally pull it. i think it was like maybe an 85 - 90? i'd guess a 9000.

 

how much can you pick up the saab turbo parts usually. that might be something i'll look into too

 

depending on the junkyard, usually under $200... sometimes less than $100.

If its from a 9000, it should be OK... if its from a 900 it might be a little tricky.

 

white-- just for the snail? thats a lot for just the snail

 

why is a 900 turbo tricky?

lkailburn - $30 plus $5 core. so $35 for a phenomenal turbo.

 

thats what i paid

 

what do you mean 30 plus 5 for the core?

single -- it seems like you've got this saab junkyard turbo setup thing figured out to an extent. pm me, lets chat

 

have you looked in the engine bay of a 900? The turbo is bass-ackwards... theres no way to mount it with the intake facing the passenger side, so unless you've got a perfeclty sized SMIC, theres no way to route intercooler plumbing and downpipe without miles of meandering piping, plus theres not really any good place to put the intake on the driver's side of the engine bay. Some of the older 900s and 99s have a different bolt pattern too. The 9000 one mounts in front of the motor just like most other transverse front driver's would, but the 900 has a longitudinally mounted engine, a really bizzare exhaust manifold and an unusual turbo/IC arrangement. It just requires a lot more creative IC and exhaust routing.

Yeah, and I guess I was way off on those prices h: My roommate's last turbo was $800, so I'm a bit skewed :thinking:

 

A buddy of mine just spend $1200+ on a new T3/T4 for his 1g Talon TSI... 15psi daily on the street, what a monster...

Got my $50 turbo absolutely redone (everything there was to redo) for $380. So, $430 for a new Greddy 15g isn't bad... I think.

 

well, the turbos most people buy are huge, brand new aftermarket turbos, in high demand I might add. Much different case than a used stock saab or chrysler turbo from a junkyard.
