    great video. Only a suggestion..The WORST thing you can do is start a new turbo with no oil in the CHRA. that turbo spins between 80-150K rpm...distastrous if dry. When replacing any turbo you should place a little oil in the top side in the CHRA...that lubricants the journals. Then before tightening down the banjo oil fitting to the turbo, prime the oil pressure by disconnecting your fuel pump relay and ignition wire by placing the banjo oil feed tip into a clear container so you can see the oil come out. Then replace fuel relay and ignition wire and crank.

    It's so nice to see these videos, I have a 06 Vectra with the same 2.8 turbo and the engine compartment only has minor differences so I can definately take away from this :D

    Great video! I just pulled the turbo from my 07 Aero, but I did it by the book - WIS. Your method is easier. I broke all three solenoid bolts. They were easy to remove. I just built them up with MIG weld, and used water pump pliers to turn them out.
    I’m not upgrading, just sending it off for rebuild.
    For reference, mine is Saab part number 55557012, which is a Mitsubishi 49389-01700.

    Hi friend. I have Saab 9-3 1.8T, 2003. I have some problems if you can help. First one P0033 (turbo charger problem). Second one when I drive, smoke comes from around to turbo(or under the turbo cover)

  • @nelagordon24
    @nelagordon24 Před 2 lety +1

    You should of checked the wastegate flapper and the rod connection arm for play. Cause if that’s loose or not closing all the way then you’ll have major boost and spooling issues. Since you had the turbo out it would have been good time to check it. My 2007 had that issue and it took me a long figure out what the problem was. So how are the gains? Is it real noticeable?

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  Před rokem +1

      Thank you for sharing! I didn't pay too much attention to the waste gate flapper at the time but I agree it's definitely something to look for while everythings out. Now that the car's tuned it pulls hard and spins the wheels with minimal effort and is a blast to drive!

    I assume you gonna tune it soon? How much HP and TQ can this drivetrain handle?

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  Před 2 lety +3

      In my opinion the weakest link for these drivetrains is the clutch. Mine is upgraded so at this point I'm not too concerned about it. Not sure on numbers yet but tuner said I should get a solid 350hp conservatively and around 380 if I upgrade injectors. I can certainly push for more but being my daily at this point I'm happy with 350hp.

  • @nelagordon24

    You can get refurbished injectors for less than $200 for the set. I’ll try to find the link to the website or the seller on eBay and post it here

    • @WeakestofWeeks
      @WeakestofWeeks  Před rokem

      My cars are manual so I honestly cannot say. If you're looking at a larger turbo then you will also need a tune. Talk with a Saab tuner and they'll be able to tell you the limits based on experience.

      New OEM parts I typically get from esaabparts.com or go with new aftermarket brands through rockauto.com I'm lucky and time to time get a Saab in the junkyard in Columbus so I get parts there. Facebook Saab groups and forums help to get parts too.
