I decided I didn’t like the stock plastic intake. It’s only supposed to be good for 10psi and my little Saab turbo is already exceeding that.
Big thanks to Brad for the Saab intake manifold. The base 2.2 throttle body fits absolutely perfectly. Clearly the same one as used in the 9-3.
Unfortunately the 4bar MAP does not fit the intake manifold. The screw does not line up and the hole in the intake is too big.
So, I JB welded the bolt into the threaded hole, I will cut it flush and drill/tap a new one for the MAP.
I then turned a very simple reducer that can be press fit into the hole to correctly size it for the Buick Regal 4bar MAP. It works great!
