Still no new hose :( COVID has obviously delayed everything pretty significantly! Stay safe all!
I'm loving the project so far man! How about doing an oil catch can instead of the breather hose? I know we don't have DI motors, but it will still catch gunk!
Very informative video. Always nice to know exactly whats involved along with the bolts that might break and hoses that might be cracked. Enjoyed. Look forward to your tune selection. I've been debating upgrading my turbo since early last year and still on the fence with this one.
Glad it was helpful! I'v been debating the upgrade a while as well lol. glad i finally did it
Looks great thank you hope you like it!
Vermont tuning is the best. I live right by the guy and he does my tuning.
Did my 2.8T tune too, Brian @ Vermont rips.
Brian is awesome
I've heard nothing but good things about him!!
Has anyone done a stage 2 upgrade from Brian on the 2.8t Aero?
Great job 👌 can't wait to see the performance 😎
You and me both, lol
If you don't already have an HP Tuners program, if say get it. You can get full information about your engine, and send it off to tuners to get a tune custom made for your car. I'd recommend Vermont Tuner, as Brian is just a charm to work with.
thanks for the advice!
@@AutoAutopsy also you can delete the SAI pump on any 9-3 with the 9-3 licence lol, even remove the speed limiter.
Nice upgrade, just put some silicone hose temporary to there (using the original 2 connectors both end), did that on mine when broke, did a job well until new arrived. Stay safe 👍
good idea, you as well!
Finally man! Can’t wait to hear it spool in a new intro
:)
Can't wait to get back to the states to play with mine. Currently in Japan for the next 2 years.
Looking forward to it, stay safe!
You beat me to this video, my turbo got delayed because of COVID. Was gonna make this exact video on my 06 Aero with a 19T off a Caddy SRX because there wasnt one out there yet. Fair play man, love your content. At least I can use this as a guide when my turbo gets here tomorrow. In terms of that breather hose, just get a catch can, that's where it needs to be run anyway. In from crankcase, out to turbo. It uses 7/16ths line from the PCV valve to the turbo, so get a catch can with either 7/16ths or 1/2 inch inlet/outlet. If you need further help with the catch can you can find my posts on The 2.8 Alliance or you can message me on insta @fat_jag. Catch can prevents oil from passing back into your intake, causing buildup and ruining that new do88 intercooler.
I'll look into it all, thanks for sharing that info. have fun with your upgrade ;)
Just done mine 20t 6x6 with 11 blade. Turbosmart actuator
nice!
Brenan just did one for me too and we installed it two days ago. All we did was install a 9 blade billet turbine so mine is still a 15T
awesome! hope you love it
I had installed in my 2001 9-5 Aero the TD04HL-19T as the original Garrett TD04HL-18T finally ended its life cycle at 117+ k miles...
Deciding whether I what to MAPTUN stages or not maybe just the software upgrade?
Maptun does great work; if they offered anything past a stage 3 for the v6, i'd be going with them for my tune!
Install didn't seem too bad. Hmm, I may need to pick one of these up!
What!? It looked really long and complicated.
Could have been worse, haha
Go Vtuner you will not regret it, safe and reliable. That or Maptun which you already have I think or even Aura tuning which is a newer tuner in I think the UK. They've specialized in custom tuning for the 9-3ng check out their facebook page (with lots of customer car photos and tunings they've done from normal mpg tunes to GT30 turbo tunes) more info. There's a guy on youtube, Saabmadman with their tuning and he even added a meth and water kit to his car and tracks it. He did few vids going against a turbo x which he pulled on because I assume less drivetrain losses from his FWD even though both had similar tuning. Could also be due to his meth and water addon but I'm rambling on lol Anyways great video, stay safe!
thanks for the information! I wish maptun offered something past a stage 3; stay safe as well!
Great vid man! How long did it take you to do everything? I’m gonna get a 2.8 soon myself and this is definitely something I want to do. Also by any chance is it carb legal? I live in California so makes things tougher for mods
Victor Camarena I don’t see why it wouldn’t be....
this shouldn't be an issue with any sort of emissions requirements!
Your exhaust may be a different thing tho if your going for the larger compressor your going to want a larger exhaust for the air movement
Do you have a part # for the 3 bolts that broke when removing the wastegate? I can't seem to find them anywhere other than purchasing an entire new wastegate. Thank you.
I don’t. Esaabparts probably has them somewhere. Otherwise, a hardware store should have it
Did you have to upgrade your injectors, or just tune it up 🏁🏁🏁
Did you adjust the wastegate? Different spring or arm adjustment? Thanks.
Nope, didn’t adjust that
Would a aero turbo be able to go on my 06 9-3 CV without any other adapters ?
no. they are different. the stock v6 aero turbo wouldn't really be an upgrade anyways!
hello I also have a saab 9.3 turbo x I can tell you exactly what trim you mount on yours? Thank you
Trim?
Good job 👍 how much time would you say from start to finish for the average car guy?
i'd say half a day of work, at worst (if youre just changing out the intake side)
What are you planning for the 15t on it? I have an 08 9-3 aero that's my moms I'm working on and your old one Is probably better suited than mine
for now i'll keep it. if i decide to sell it i'll definitely post about it tho!
I found the same hose was already broke on my v6! (Only looked because I wasn’t getting full boost)!
rip :(
Where do you get the intake piping from I can’t seem to find one for mine
www.do88.se
Do you need to prime the new turbo with oil/coolant so it doesn't burn up on first start?
I didn’t 😅
Wait did you pre-lube the the oil port with least 2 oz. of oil? That is important to do as you don't want to run it w/o any oil in the turbo first off as the oil lines will feed into the the turbo as you know but to dry run the turbo can cause damage unless your friend had already put some oil in before shipping it to you but it may be light oil so I would of add an oz. if he had did that?
John Baldwin Just remove the fuel pump fuse and crank it for some seconds to move oil around the engine
@@anothersaabstory1237 There's an even easier method: hold the gas pedal floored while turning the key to start. This is a diagnostic procedure that cuts the fuel injectors so it simply cranks without starting.
Phil D Must be a 2.8 thing then, my 2.0T ng9-3 would start that way, but it would reset TB calibration that way
ah, no i didn't do that oops
Auto Autopsy you’ll be fine. It’s not a MUST, but doesn’t hurt for peace of mind
I want to see start with the New turbo but the hose have bad opinion haha
nice job my friend
👍 🇬🇷
thanks giannis!
@@AutoAutopsy thanks my friend i waiting Fotos from arizona and v6 saab, i love the place, be careful stay safe
👍 🇬🇷🇺🇸
Hey there! Quick question, you might know. I have a 2007 Saab 9-3 2.0t which has the low pressure turbo. Can I swap that turbo with a high pressure turbo from Saab 9-3 2.0T and just use the MaptuneX to remap the ECU?
Yes. Although saab ditched the small turbo after 05 or 06 to my knowledge. So I would be surprised if yours has a small t!
What are your current power numbers and your goal with tunes if you dont mind me asking?
not 100% certain; those will be determined as i talk with a tuner lol
Link for that tube that broke? I have a broken one too and I can’t find it

I have a 9-3x sport that has A hole in one of the turbo lines would you fix it for $$$?
im not available for hire for stuff like that lol
Does that turbo work for the 04 9-3 aero? Just curious to know. Thanks in advance
This exact turbo won’t, no. But if you contact the guy who made it, he can make you one that will work
Hi friend! In the turbine has the egr valve ever broken in saab 9-3?
i'd search some forums or facebook groups; i haven't had any issues with it
FYI, my dad has an ‘09 Aero X with a Vermont Tuning Stage 2 (that’s the 20T tune)... I really don’t like it. VTuner tunes it to hit boost at 4500 RPM so it only makes good power from then until redline. As a result it’s not all that fun to drive, it’s more or less a numbers car. If I were you I’d get it dyno tuned and shoot for a more conservative peak hp number for a more fun linear power band... you don’t seem super concerned about hp bragging rights anyway. And where do you get higher flow injectors? I wouldn’t expect to be able to find any other than the stock ones on eEuro and ESaab.
Good info to know...
Ryan Nylander Thank you! Just for clarification, it feels strong under hard acceleration, I just can’t stand how late it’s tuned to hit boost. It’s a solid tune and I get that he delays boost to spare the connecting rods, but I’d bet they could safely be put under boost much sooner, say, at 3000 RPM. Not trying to say it’s a bad tune, just not my cup of tea. :)
@@patrickbeggan1100 yeah, having it come on too late to the game kind of ruins the point of an upgrade. Like you said, phase it in a bit earlier and make a bit more power sooner. I'm sure traction can be an issue on fwd's, so that also might be some of his thinking in having it come on late. Maybe he has a revision for your dad's car, tune wise?
Ryan Nylander Well my dad’s is an Aero X, so it has cross wheel drive and a rear ELSD just like the Turbo X... the two models are very similar. I’ve got a 2007 Aero, which is the last year before they upgrade to AWD with the 2.8Ts. I’m almost positive it’s tuned like that solely for reliably reasons- Mr. VTuner doesn’t want to risk getting a bad wrap ‘cause a couple cars have blown up at full boost.
@@patrickbeggan1100 yeah, he's def on the side of caution vs some of the tuners out there, for sure. Hey, you can always have him get a diff tune from one of the swedes or another stateside tuner and compare. Yes, it's money, but might be able to tap into more power and driveability at lower RPM levels. I'm on a fwd '08... I was nervous about drivetrain issues on the AWD with more power, so skipped.
Hi, I want to ask who made the software for this saab with a modified turbocharger?thank you for answer
Tuning? There's plenty of options. Maptun is my go-to
Debating wether to do this on my vectra, already got the rad and intercooler pack fitted ( courtenay sport so same as a d088)
do it ;)
Where did you buy this turbo?
it's literally mentioned in the beginning of the video and the description.
Who n how do I get that turbo for my 08 2.8 v6t
Please rewatch the video haha. All of the info for the seller is there! (And in the description)
It makes like easy with bolt tray, mirror and long magnet...
the right tools always help
Hello. How much more power? HP?
as stated in the video, depends on the tune.
Try Brew City Boost for the tune. They have great Saab tunes and their prices are best!! Ask for Casey!!
thanks for the heads up!
Think happen that's ok🤞
:)

Brennyn is a Turb-Bro
mhmm!
hello i have saab 9-3 aero 2.0 turbo i want to do the flutter sound some people saying you block something of please help me
don't do a blow off valve, i'll tell you that. best bet is to do something like an open air intake. See this video: czcams.com/video/CE3T09jlPs0/video.html
@@AutoAutopsy thanks alot for the come back
How many miles are on that turbo X?
185k
We need to meet up when this is over! Platty is back tomorrow 🇸🇪🇸🇪
yes! definitely man
Hey I have a Saab 900 turbo convertible any good sites to help me. Or maybe you can help. Sorry bout the questions
i'm not too sure about parts for classic saabs like that, but i do know there's options around! My advice would be the post about this on a saab facebook group and ask!
🏁🏁🏁🐌🎬👍
FIRST........NEW YORK 👌🏾
:)
That's not the 2.3t I'm familiar with. Is it the V6?
do people even watch the video?
@@mav3ric100 no. Everyone's seen it already.
It's a W12, actually
should it be the same turbo upgrade for the Aero 2.8 v6?
His car is the 2.8 v6
@@mav3ric100 no his car is the turbo X, not the Aero 2.8 v6.
@@ei5717 I take it you're a new saab fan. The turbo x and saab aero 2.8 from 2006 to 2009 use the SAME exact engine and turbo no difference at all. The only difference the turbo x has over the aero 2.8 is the exhaust(has a rumble box that gives it that distinct sound) and AWD with elsd(but in 2009 the Aero 2.8 got that as an Option as well in the AWD configuration so they were pretty much similar on that front) while the 2008 aero had AWD option with no elsd.
@@mav3ric100 yeah, that was my question... if it's the same for the Aero 2.8 v6... and I guess you answered it through your besserwisser reply :)
Yes, the old turbo is the same turbo that's in your car!
What turbo did you upgrade to?? 20T 19T? Turbo X looking good btw
As he said in the video 19T
A Coul word I missed that part I got a 20T and 80lb deka injectors on e85 Bang bang Saab gang
It's similar to a 19T, yes
Auto Autopsy yes I know all about it I just upgraded from the 18T on my b207r I’m trying to get a 22T sometime in the future. Congrats on the on the 19T I look forward to seeing a video of it running on the turbo X you’re gonna love it and love your car btw it’s 🔥🔥
400hp in 19t ?
yes hp not whp
it's also not exactly a 19T ;)
Don't know about you, but I began to wonder if the turbo from Turbo X would fit the arc
I don't think it would be an "upgrade" but that's an interesting idea
when he said brennen it reminded me of "hey brennen, did you touch my drumset?''
Oof
That TX is NASTY.
:)
where did u find that pcv hose for 15$? its like 100$ online
www.eeuroparts.com has it in stock
