umm... lets see what I can remember off the top of my head :thinking:

custom hybrid turbo (I forget exactly what trim) built by that Keller guy from turbonetics (its gold), runs anywhere from 17-24psi

9000 aero head swap
9000 aero exhaust cam
spearco IC w/ 2.5" piping
aquamist water injection
forge bypass valve
saab 900s (n/a) intake manifold (fatter runners and plenum)
custom magnaflow exhaust
k&n cone air filter

intrax springs
bilstein shocks
falken azenis
EBS pads

tons of ICE/guages/interior stuff (mostly taseful and functional)

hmmm.... I know theres more, but thats all i can remember now.

GM saabs are utter crap. That merger was the the wost thing that ever happened to saab.

:edit: I agree the brand new ones are pretty cool. what happened is from 95-00 GM basically half-assed the car (the rounder style 900), and in 2000, when they started calling them 9-3 and 9-5 instead of 900 and 9000, thats when saab took over control of most of the production process again, and hence, the cars stopped sucking. Then new 9-3 sedan is actually the same platform as the next malibu, and some opel, but saab got a lot of control in engine development and suspension... its a very nice car.

BTW, the new 9-X thats coming out is basically a WRX with a saab badge... i'm still not sure how I feel about that.

he's actually looking into moving it into a v-mount variation and cutting a hole in the hood for better airflow and better throttle response (about 2' less piping). It'll be pretty sick
