i have a friend that owns a saab turbo 900... he'll be back on august 6th and i can take a look at it for you, but im sure some amount of modification would be necessary...

Im curious as to why you ask.

heh bc i found an upgraded saab intercooler for sale and it is side mount and i was lookin to upgrade my intercooler and it isnt costing hundreds of dollars lol

the amount of money you'd spend on piping and custom work to make the IC fit...you could have just bought a kit made for our cars...

hey drifting dane did you ever get to look at your friends saab?

Drifting Dane · 08-09-2005, 09:46 PM

are you talking about the Blackstone SAAB IC with the poppet valve on the end tank? if so, there is a modification that needs to be made in order to make it work properly. i have one that is currently in my SC.

I kindly disagree. It's just like exhausts ... it is far cheaper to make your own than buy a ready-made one. My exhaust was only a few hunder bucks, compared to the $700-$1000 prices you see.

My GReddy IC cost me $650 new (which was a deal).
The custom intercooler set up I am doing cost me $185 for the IC, $135 for the pipes and the hoses should have cost about $100 or so.

^^not everyone has the kind of hookups that you do....

JekylandHyde · 08-10-2005, 12:01 PM

Everything I bought for my intercooler came from eBay.
Everyone is welcome to that hook up

I didn't get any deal on my exhaust either. Tanabe B-pipe, MR2 Performance Parts tip and a Borla muffler bought from summit racing.

Agreed that I do have some good hook ups, but I have not really used them on those 2 projects except for the IC pipe hoese connectors.

sorry tater_tot... my friend bailed on our plans, and now hes back at college (orlando)

It took me a while to sum up the courage to tell you

again, sorry.

heh np man atleat you tried.
ToyotaTechGeek what kinda modifications are we talking about. heh im not sure if it wwas the black stone or not lol its been a while. but the design seems similar to ours but i didnt know about measurements. and yea as jekyl said, i disagree on it costing as much as going out and buying a full ic kit. DIY is the way to go

...well.. most of the time

besides im in nop big rush.. right now im tryin to get this dang heatshield off my dp so i can put my new 3" dp on there heh oh and 3" megan n1 with 3" mid from dp... no emmission law.. no cat heh.
