    Support for 2007-08 SAAB 9-3 - 2.0L turbo?

    Support for SAAB 9-3 - 2.0L turbo? Just wondering because this may be my next car in 2 years.

    If I am not mistaken its the same engine as the 208 cobalt SS/TC. Which will soon be supported

    Need a vcm suite infolog while connected to the vehicle and a couple of clear pics of the pcm & its serial numbers sent to support at hptuners.com
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    I don't think it's a direct injection 260 HP turbo like the Cobalts, HHR's, Solstice and Sky. It's basically a turbo on a Cobalt SS/SC bottom end.

    Saab uses there own Software....trionic 8, dought they will spend the time cracking that any time soon....very complicated and not a huge demand.

    Support for Saab 9-3 2.0T

    My vote goes for support of the Saab 9-3 2.0T. I have a newer '08 model and would love to mod the ECU but the units available to us are in the $900+ range.

    I'm putting in my vote, and many others from SaabCentral.com for this ECU to be tuned...

    I've got a community behind me as i've got a GT-3071R in my garage, with all necessary hardware, 630cc injectors, 255lph pump, VulcanTurbo manifold, meth/water/nitro injection kit (snow) and many other goodies, but the only custom tuner is Nordic. Last time I checked they have to fly in from Sweden to tune the car, or send their one tuner (several states away) the basic runfile and then they tune it from there. However, that is the only custom tuner I know of for the T8. It's more identical to the LSJ, similarities to the GXP LNF. The custom aforementioned tune is about 1250 dollars. Otherwise we only have handheld canned tunes.

    I've noticed since i've owned the car (about two years) That the community went from pretty much nothing, to every day people pushing the bar and doing what they shouldn't be able to do. I know if an accessible software was released for this ECU then people would be flocking to HPTuners, as we really don't have any custom solution to turn to.

    I was reading through some other threads? You needed a picture of the ECU, and the guy posted up a picture of the fuel computer, so here's the ECU



    I'm willing to do anything to my car for you guys to get the info you need.

    Also, this ECU/Engine remains unchanged from 2003-2008

    I bring this thread to the top.

    Can we have some news about this? The demand is not really big for now because most people who own a Saab dont know about HPTuner product.

    Be sure that there is a big Saab community who will buy you're excellent product if you support our car.


    So if you need anything, like picture or particular information ( I have the Saab workshop dvd)....

    Thanks!

    Not a pcm we currently support, I've added it to our list of pcm's to look at for the future but with no ETA as its behind about a dozen other projects currently.

    Bump for 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0L tuning. My friend would surely get into hptuners if her car was supported.
