honestly i absolutely hate gm, and i hate their influence on saab, but i drove a 2009 9-3 with the turbo v6 i believe, and it was a pretty quick car for what it was
@maikeru01 What grade of fuel are you using? Try using premium for a couple of tanks and if that doesnt fix it, replace your boost control valve (APC Solenoid) Good Luck
@AndyJamesWilliams I took it to the dealer for something else and when I got it back I didn't have the issue anymore and they didn't charge me for it, so I think something might just have needed to be tuned up. Thanks for the help anyway though.
@maikeru01 I guess your turbo wastegate is sticking or something like that and you get a fuelcut, which is meant to protect the engine from overboost.
@stureah actually i had to take it to the dealer for something else and when i got it back i didnt experience this problem anymore but thank you for the suggestion.
@maikeru01 it shouldnt do that. you have something wrong with overboosting. it should sit right at the edge of the green markers and not go into the red. possibly something wrong with your diverter valve. or are you tuned?
That happen to all Saab Turbo cars unless you take that feature off, the fuel cut off if the turbo goes in red thats why u have that "bucking" power loss...normal as far as i know, safety feature
i tested it out today. i think i was just shifting too early. to get some extra mpg i tend to try and keep the RPMs under 3000. but if i let it go to 3 or 4 i don't have the issue with the turbo.

@maikeru01 sounds like your running to much boost so its detonating, check for boost leaks or broken actuator, get it tested on a rolling road.

Whats better, the 9-3 or the 9-5 overall?

@maikeru01 Try turning off the traction control/"ESP". If the car gets too much torque the engine will cut it and stop your acceleration.
If not.. then get you car checked with someone that know Saab :)

I think there must be something wrong with your car. I have had many Saab Turbos, and I don´t recognize your problem at all.

don't do it!
the 9-5 aero, especially! remapped is an absolute beast.
the 2.8 eats fuel with little advantage... uk owners will care... :)
