need to fit a torque arm to stop the engine moving so much.

Disconnected the dump valve. Orginally it was just to get a proper boost reading as I have no boost gauge just yet. On light throttle sometimes it still dies it even with a dump valve connected!

@omegagtr the b204L STOCK handles 500hp+  they come factory with forged crank and rods. a lot of us saab people throw in some JE pistons and a monster turbo a good tune and injectors and good to go for beating just about everything on the street.

[omegagtr]

so what is the spec of this build ? does it have forged internals and what turbo are you using if you dont mind me asking

[osvst]

@B4J4S I see what you're talking about. I didn't think you could put this particular engine into a Vectra in the first place, lol.

@ChickenC0re Looks like it lacks the upper engine mount, with only the bottom ones to limit movement. The brake fluid (or power fluid?) reservoir in the vid is located where the mount would usually bolt to the chassis in a Saab.
