yeah Saab wasn't the 1st maker to turbo charge - but they were the 1st to make the turbo suitable for daily driving, the 1st maker to utilize solid state controls - they called it APC , automated performance control with a waste gate and blow off valve . Until a few yrs before they exited the auto market they were using a block designed licensed from Triumph of all people - but at one time like in WWII the English produced class leading engines - like the Merlin design used in the P51.BTW, how's that 9-5 holding up? Still mourning Saab, my Viggen was one of the favourite cars I've owned. They were so far ahead of their time -- building boosted I-4s decades before Ford and everyone else discovered them.
