new to saabs got a question
 
so im switching up the import scene here and went with an 04 9-3 arc but when it gets down to about half a tank of gas the turbo doesnt spool in first or second and barely third when i accelerate but fourth and fifth it does... what the hell is that about? is it supposed to do that **** or is saab gunna have to fix my ****? thanks in advance

1st and 2nd are usually limited....but what you're describing doesn't sound right

it feels like a shortened throttle really bc if i stand on the gas with alot of force it spools a little better.... its fine when i have over half a tank but once it gets there it starts acting gay.... love the car but hate this ****... i really hope its not supposed to do that bc ill have to reprogram the ecu bc its gay

It could have something to do with an old fuel filter...
