Hello Dave,
My name is Todd Campisano I live in LaGrange, Kentucky. I own an 88 SPG that goes by the name of "SCANIA" and it has been heavily modified. This year at the National Saab Owners Convention in Keystone, Colorado I took first place in the modified class w/ it.
The engine has been ported & polished, the valves are tri cut & it has been balanced. The head and block are joined w/ a copper head gasket. I have added the SPG 9 APC box and am running 20 psi along w/ their rising rate 3.0 fuel regulator and Nology wires w/ Silverstone plugs. I have also installed a 2.5" stainless exhaust from the Turbo back.
I have added the Inter cooler pipes from a 91 Turbo and the aluminum intercooler from an 80's model. I replaced the stock air box w/ a K&N filter along w/ replacing all the vacuum lines under the hood and into the dash w/ 100% silicone lines in Red.
To dress up the engine bay I painted the engine as it was being rebuilt and had the intake manifold and valve cover powder coated in Red. I also had several pieces chromed as well.
For the interior I have either replaced or died every thing Black from the carpet to the head liner. In the center console I installed 5 VDO Saab gauges Volt, Oil temp, Oil pres, Boost & Air temp. In the trunk I fitted it to hold a full size 16" spare and on the other side I added the tool kit from a 9000.
On the outside I added the whale tail and outlet covers, 16" Aero rims & Euro lights w/ wipers along w/ a set of PIAA 6" lights on top of the bumper. I removed the factory antenna and replaced it w/ a roof mount unit made by Fuba.
I have replaced the rotors w/ Brembo cross drilled in front & Euro Rotor cross drilled in the rear along w/ stainless brake lines on all four. I have lowered the car w/ Jamex springs an additional 1.25" and replaced the stock shocks w/ Bilsteins. To dress up the brakes I painted the calipers in Red as well and to protect the bottom of the engine I added the heavy duty skid plate from Saab.
In the works I am adding a cooling fan to the inter cooler to draw air through the core, and new 16" x 7" rims. I have also relocated the K&N and put it in the wheel well. That involved moving the cruise control & the charcoal canister. As soon as I get pictures of the filter move I will send them.
