the NUMBER_TOKEN's original engine was half of a triumph stag vNUMBER_TOKEN and vNUMBER_TOKENs are NUMBER_TOKEN degrees this is the front of the engine so that's where the v belts are and the alternator and that is the back of the engine which means doing a clutch on this engine is actually easier than replacing the v-belt and my favorite part the exhaust leaves the side of the head and heads forward right towards the headlight where it then encounters a turbocharger and then makes a u-turn skimming by within like a quarter of an inch of the sticker on the battery that says do not expose to excess heat before it finally makes its way towards the back of the car who did that what you can't see is the saab's apc system which was the first to reduce boost in response to knock towards the end of its run the NUMBER_TOKEN turbo's compression ratio was NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN. the porsche NUMBER_TOKEN turbos was six and a half what this meant was that the saab turbo wasn't dead off boost its unique wastegate design reacted to exhaust pressure not intake charge so the saab turbo's torque curve more closely resembled that of a larger n a motor and peak boost was only like NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKEN psi so it didn't make huge horsepower numbers when the apc first came out it made NUMBER_TOKEN horsepower compared to the n a versions NUMBER_TOKEN. that tiny little difference meant it wasn't a lot faster at top speed or on the autobahn but the turbo torque down low meant that the NUMBER_TOKEN turbo was really quick around town at the speeds where we really drive them like today's evs the rest of the driving experience well it was so good that the NUMBER_TOKEN came out in NUMBER_TOKEN but the NUMBER_TOKEN was still competitive NUMBER_TOKEN years later in fact saab was able to report sales increases every single month for NUMBER_TOKEN consecutive months from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN when the car was NUMBER_TOKEN years old i could spend all day telling you just how wonderful a saab NUMBER_TOKEN turbo drives or showing you just how ridiculously enormous it is back here or i could describe how beautiful my mom's NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN turbo was bouncing around on the back of that flatbed truck on its monthly trip to the dealership or even just broken down on the side of the road where it was perpetually but my mom loved it so did everyone including david e davis who i got to admit said it far better than i ever could so let's just defer to him and what he wrote when this car was new the saab NUMBER_TOKEN turbo is a mercedes-benz that wandered out of the house one night during an acid experience and was never the same again it exists in an altered state a marvelous blend of solid citizen no-nonsense values with a proclivity for the occasional breach of the peace as though your rich uncle assistant state chairman of the republican party and pillar of the lutheran church might sometimes dress up as joan crawford to run in marathons the turbo is a safe practical car that you and mom and the kids can use to escape from the cops oh he was definitely wearing tweed when he wrote that from the sounds of it he was drunk but everything that david e wrote in NUMBER_TOKEN about the saab turbo applies to today's
