Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan Boost Controller Installations Manual
Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan Boost Controller Installations Manual. Series Install of a Manual Boost Controller (SMBC) for Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan (T8) A Manual Boost Controller (MBC) installed in series (SMBC) to the stock Boost Pressure Control (BPC) is the only option for Saab 9-3SS (T8) engines as they will not tolerate a traditional install of a MBC that bypasses the BPC. The MBC installed in series between the Turbo Compressor and the Boost Pressure Control Valve (BPC) will provide a quicker turbo spool up and a bit of off the line performance increases without raising peak boost levels which the engine management system will not tolerate. This install is applicable for all T-8 engines including 9-3 Sport Sedans from 2003 on. Your SMBC is sent with a very low setting. To increase the setting, turn the head clockwise so that less threads are showing. Go very slowly with adjustments so not to increase boost too much as the T-8 will not tolerate it. If you get a Check Engine Light, turn the car off and re-start it. If that doesn’t reset the light, pull the negative battery cable off for 10 seconds and re-install it, then turn the car back on. Disclaimer: The use of a SMBC is very safe in many applications. You must research and evaluate the use of these devices on your own model/year/engine etc. When adding any type of performance enhancing modification, the engine must be in good mechanical condition, a true synthetic oil and good filters should be used, plugs must be in good shape premium fuel should be used, keep fuel injectors and combustion chambers clean (Techron Concentrate suggested). Study and find out what works and what does not. You are your own warranty. We are not responsible for what happens to your engine or drive train when increasing boost pressure.
