SV: G60 Stuff in a 16V?

It's more things to take into consideration. If you measure the amount of air or map and temp isn't really any difference in performance. Just different ways of doing it on. Best way, look how Saab and Porsche handles their turbo efis.

If you are going to change efi, why don't do it better at the first time. Get the fuel system off an Saab 91 or 92 2,3l turbo. Mechanically everything maybe don't transplant over without mods but changing the pressure regulator you don't have to do anything to put out at least 250hp. To put out more power you need bigger injektors and a remapping of the system.
The G60 system you need to remap if you change cams, turbo etc or do anything, it's because it works on map and temp. The saab system measure the volume of air entering the motor and this way calculating the amount of fuel. So changing cams is no problem, you can try back and forth and don't have to do anything about the fuel system during the time.
The saab system can be remapped for those extra four-five horses and for leaning it out before boost but that is not necessary.
Turbo is still on waiting list, but I hope it comes to me any day.
