It looked to be at 150
You might of had the desirable type 8 primary gears which gave better spacing and taller 5th gear. I'm not really fussed about more power but would love them for more relaxed motorwaying.
Depending on your tyres and driving style you can easily get torque steer with standard power when the boost kicks in. Getting more power is not that hard but transferring it through a delicate gearbox is another matter.

And the bumpers and bonnet aren't straight. And the poxy Abbott badge is under the lacquer, with no Saab badging at all.
I had 205s with lowered springs and no rubbing anywhere. But the mods were done by the previous owner and I was blissfully unaware of the details. I never even knew the power output. Didn't put it on the dyno. But the speedo needle went off the end of the gauge. It looked to be at 150. Good times.
What are the limits for putting extra power through the FWD? Do you get torque steer at some point? I never did.
