You're really getting stuck in! I'm ashamed to say I have no zero knowledge/experience of anything you've mentioned except the remap; one of mine had a Hirsch remap (and no other mods) and it wasn't ideal. The boost spiked massively and then dropped away sharply so it drove a bit like a diesel and loved to taunt the traction control/eat tyres.
Ok, this went of the rails pretty quickly.
I might get a garage spot after new years, so I can really go to town on it. Fingers crossed.
I have bought a second hand Trionic 7 databox is sent to Uppsala for Stage 1 tune. Going up into 270bhp and a fuckload of torque. I hope the clutch will hold.
I also went and bought a complete 04/05 Aero bumper/skirt kit i.e. the sharktooth as it seems to be called in the UK.
It's going to get scuffed, fixed with poly plaster where it's a bit scratched and then repainted in the 293 colour - that is 'Parchment Silver Metallic' or Dirty Silver as I call it.
Pic below for ref on the sharktooth.
Future plans:
Aero struts/dampers & Eibach lowering kit (Cheaper than B8)
To source the 9-3 Aero brake kit with discs for the front. 314mm instead of the 308mm so not a lot there but the calipers are HUGE in comparison. Good braking power is important for the family!
I'm also pondering going full black leather interior with the Viggen or Aero steering wheel and getting the '06 Denso Nav retrofitted. Also important to the family.
Might also get a Hirsch dual exhaust, but that is pending on the price from the seller. Important to no one except me.
Standard stuff for modding Saabs really heh...
