I know the vectra and the Saab 9-3 are the same underneath it all. To be honest, a lot of the parts are the same as they're both GM. Same as vauxhall and Chevrolet parts are the same underneath the bodywork.

I'm not certain on the engine code but I hear a lot of the vauxhall boys run the Saab 2.0 turbos as they are fully forged and easily reach 400bhp with little work? Anyone know if this is true or just bullshit?
