Default Anybody know anything about Saab turbos

My brother has just bought a Saab 9-3turbo but it's the low pressure turbo I would have thought that the boost can be adjusted with the acctuator but am not sure what do you think?

I did that to a SAAB a while back and it just kept cutting out as soon as it went over the original boost level!
I'm guessing it will need a re-map if you want to alter it

If its the older 9-3 version then it can be chipped with rather nice results. The new sports sedan got a GM/Opel based engine, says its all really.
