I have a Saab 9-3 with a 1.9Tid engine, it pulled a check engine light and so i took the EGR gear off and it was fully choked up with carbon/soot.  I am going to block that off and run a DPF additive to the fuel as it currently has very little performance under 2000rpm, at 2000rpm it takes off but its annoying having that lag...

 

Question, if i attach a water methanol kit just before the intake manifold, will that clean the intake manifold, engine and even the exhaust, will it clean the DPF even...and will it give me some low end performance assuming it should pull just off idle...????

The internet is your friend........do some research.  Power output and where you make it depends on the setup.  But it should over time do the cleaning.

I just sold my Saab V6 non turbo. Always liked Saabs and got it cheap but when I got into the Saab forums the list of problems and expensive fixes cured me.

Don't know about the diesels but many petrol engines had inadequate crank case ventilation and aftermarket kits were eventually produced. WMI may well help to clean up your engine but as for performance many of the turbos were small and weak and for example for petrol engines replacement with a TDO4 was often suggested.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
