It’s crazy how the stock XWD can handle that power. Excited and curious to see more on your car!

Sorry for the skaky cam everyone. I have an upgrade on the way for the next video.

That plug n play ecu will help so many of us especially if yall have it for the 4 cylinder

HI! I talked to a guy not long ago here in Sweden at a Saab/Volvo meet. He had a stock looking 9-3 SC 2.0T Xwd with 575hp, he asked Haldex if it gona hold and they didn´t know, they said: "Nobody have done this before" I guess in Sweden?!. Both the stock 6 speed manual gearbox and the Xwd is ok so far (the clutch is upgraded of course) ;) I think he´s got around 650nm of torque and your v6 must have around 800nm? Nordic Performance in Norrkoping have done the mods/job. Nice video by the way :)

Amazing video! I'm excited to see what you put out in the future. While my car is mostly stock right now, I'm sure this video and the ones you might produce after this will be a massive help when I'm ready to more seriously modify my own car. Thanks for all your r&d on this platform!

[daryljoseph]

Damn, your in S.C. I'm gonna have to look you up next time I'm down there with the 9-5. Great car, great work!

[daryljoseph]

Great video my friend. I'm a 9-5 guy myself but this is the next platform I'm looking into, IF I CAN FIND A DESCENT ONE!

[MojitoMixify]

A true legend. Thanking you for all the help you are!

[AdventureShock]

I love the business man. You've been helpful with all my questions. You've got my support. Hopefully, I can take it to your shop 1 day

[MrMckenzie]

The GodFather Has Spoken! 🙌 love the info. Such a statement you are making with this platform! 👏 thank you for the up and coming info. Ill be honest though I'm way ahead of myself but i really cant wait for the day to hit you up and haul my car to your shop for some work to support your business and time and effort you have put into these motors. Same goes for a couple other i speak to about this build.

[ROYteous]

Amazing work! I am VERY interested in getting a MaxxECU after doing a little research. Look forward to as much info as you can provide and probably a plug and play harness if that becomes available. Looking to make around 500awhp in my TX.

[jeffreycornell]

Very impressive work, sounds like it will be amazing once you get your transmission beefed up. Wow!!

[Thers]

You have a link to the solid subframe bushings? So happy I found this video and somebody pushing big power from an F40. I’ve been toying around the idea of a awd f40 swap from an insignia a to my Malibu.

[turbskiiiii]

sweet vid man ready to see whats next for this build.

[VXRretro]

Great build, i see you have 314mm brakes, you can upgrade easily enough to the 345mm brakes. Im no Saab expert but i assume the 345's were only installed on the Turbo X. I had a car with 314's and my current with 345's not sure if felt much of a difference from memory but they certainly look alot better behind the wheel.

[Saabx]

This is really cool thank you for this. Mans a genius 👏

[muncie]

What a monster of a car well done for such a great build? You never mentioned what clutch you car has to put that power down Pedro? Can't you tell us about the clutch and flywheel used?

[edisonarabia-meyer]

awesome vid, cool seeing how you went about making the choices you did. i’m not sure what i plan on doing in the future with my build, i’ll be going bigger turbo for sure. been running your tune for over a year now with nothing but good performance!

[probie]

It's exciting to see folks still turning up the wick on these cars!
Which Mace cam are you using?
