Turbocharging is one of Saab’s engineering hallmarks, delivering strong torque, smooth power delivery, and spirited performance from compact engines. When a Saab turbocharger loses efficiency or fails, acceleration suffers, boost response deteriorates, and drivability decreases.
A tested used Saab turbocharger restores factory boost levels and performance for a fraction of the cost of new OEM units — ideal for 9-3, 9-5, or classic 900 and 9000 turbo models.
Turbochargers increase engine power by using exhaust pressure to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor to force more air into the engine. This extra air allows more fuel to be burned efficiently, increasing horsepower and torque without enlarging engine displacement.
Primary functions:

Only turbochargers that meet Saab OEM performance standards are approved for sale.
