| Almost all turbo's will drop pressure in the higher RPM's, especially smaller turbos. |

| The car is going into a limp mode.....The stupid Mass Air Flow sensor is very sensitive on these cars. I have gone through about $500 worth of intakes and accesories. I have found a way to bypass this all, but you need a manual boost controller. |

| So I have bypassed the stock boost control "box" and in its place put my manual boost controller. It has fixed my intake problems (with the cruise not working and MAF problems).....the only issue is over-boosting. Which I have fixed by turning the manual boost controller to about 13.5-14... |

| I had my resonator removed, which gave the exhaust a slightly deeper tone, but still not really audible when not parked. I FINALLY got around to purchasing a performance muffler. I ended up buying a Magnaflow 14827----4" tip and oval body http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/642148... |

I had the resonator removed (keeping the rest of the stock exhaust) at a local muffler shop for $50. I was originally going to get a magnaflow muffler, but this was way cheaper.

| My cousin had the car for a month and changed the plugs and fuel filter, but that didn't do the trick...even though it needed both of them. So the problem didn't completely get fixed until today.....It ended up it was the way the BPV was connected. The BPV is right before the turbo, and it was &qu... |

| Well, first of all, you are explaining the older version of the "boost gauge", the new 9-3's look like this... http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v98/34/113/503279743/n503279743_66630_3836.jpg I have a '85 Saab 900 SPG, so i know what you are talking about... |
