ok. here is the issue. the stock apc system will not allow you the engine to boost over 12 psi. There is either something wrong with your apc system, or there is a possibility that the waste gate is stuck shut. Tell me, has your car hit fuel cutoff? it feels like someone slams the brakes on when driving and feels as if engine shuts off and comes back on within a split second.

Check the following things

1. APC Solenoid (located near the radiator and is a small circular thing with 3 hoses connected to it...) check if it clicks when you put the brakes on when the car is running. if it doesnt, you need to replace it.

2. Check the wastegate... if it is locked shut, this is VERY bad for the engine, trust me, i know from experience. Remember, saabs are not supposed to hit such high boost levels. YOU MUST have the proper fuel delivery mods, and a slew of other mods in order to SAFELY run high boost levels.

This mechanic you took it to, ask him exactly what he did. just rebuilding an engine will NOT let your car boost that much.... like i said, saab apc system only lets the car boost at 12 psi.

let me know, AIM me zingZACH
