23.05.2005: Old vs new
The end tanks are made by MP. You can see an extra weld spot: this was a discounted defective unit. I had to take it to an alloy welder for repair first. We've found four pinholes in the welds. The regular units should not have these problems, but it never hurts to do a pressure test. Also check for metal shavings in the end tanks: I had a lot of those.

Intercooler upgrade on the 1996 Saab 900. Parts from MP Performance.

  • 16 mm socket: bumper bolts;
  • 10 mm socket: old intercooler bolts;
