Default 9-3 turbo, got some Q's

hey everyone whats up?first time here.So for a while ive been fasinated by saabs. I currently have a 99 pontiac trans am. I love my car more than anything-the looks, the raw power of its massive engine and the respect it gets everywhere.However, im tired of dealing with its problems.Its sad that it could never realize its potential cause gm didnt want to develope it to its fullest. So i decided to buy something practical that will last me through college and can be fun at the same time.I considered a mercedes benz c230 kompressor and c280 kompressor, a bmw 3 or 5 series and even an sti.Then i remebered saab and decided to look into it.And i fell in love with the 93 aero 2.8 turbo.I love this car and am about to leave my house to test drive one.I was wondering what available in the aftermaarket for them. Is there a special tuner house for these cars? can you get body kits or parts to upgrade your turbo? What bolt pattern do they have-what rims are available? also what should i expect 0-60 and 1/4 mile to be? Do they hold up well?do they rattle? will i spend much in repairs?i basically want the entire donlad and then some

Default RE: 9-3 turbo, got some Q's

hmm i dont have a aero but i have a 2.0T and i installed a BOV...now people on here are saying this cant be done BUT i assure you it can and I had mine professionally done and I havnt had any "limp mode" or "check engine" come on and its as loud as ever for the stock boost im running...their isnt alot you can do to the 2003-2007 93's but i know you can get exhausts for them....k&n makes air intakes for them...ive seen on ebay front mounted intercoolers for them but idk. im not exactly sure what the 0-60 is but i think the aero is in the high 6's 0-60.repairs isnt bad i guess its average nothing crazy has happened to mine in a year and half expect oil changes.I havnt seen body kits but you can get saab spoilers. if you want to see good mods for the saabs go to stateofnine.com and they are alot of wheel companies that make rims for them that will fit saabs 5 lug pattern. as for rattling nothing like that has ever happened
