My SAAB was originally a '99 Cosmic Blue 9-5 2.3 lpt 5 speed with 170 horsepower and 207 lbs. of torque. I then upgraded the ECU to BSR's stage 1, replaced the stock air intake cylinder with an open air double mushroom one and fitted some 18" ADR Propulsion wheels. Shortly after that, I upgraded the ECU to BSR's Stage  3, replaced the stock turbo intake pipe with one from an Aero, replaced the stock diverter valve with a black Forge one, and installed a complete 3" exhaust system (from the turbo, all the way back to the exhaust pipe). Both the high flow catalyst and the muffler are from MagnaFlow. I also installed a BSR 2.2 Bar boost gauge recently. It's currently rated at 265 horsepower and 313 lbs. of torque, but I've gotta strap it to a dyno and find out what numbers I'm actually putting down on the asphalt. Next few upgrades (which may take a while) will be turbo, Viggen/Aero clutch, suspension, brakes, and sound system.
