The new webcon alpha 5 is a joy to use and I'm happy to remap on that.
Is it "open" now?
if so then atleast they have joined 1999

When you say open do you mean anyone can adapt it?

So £6-7k including the engine?
this pretty much sums up the ITB route I am unsure how much the Webcon ITB kit costs these days. It certainly will be over £2.5k and coupled with a good full exhaust at £1.5k means you have then spent £4k without even touching the engine. Stage 2 or 3 cams, better valve springs and raising the CR to 11:1 works very well on the ITB engines. I would also advise to fit a 4.17 final drive gearbox - code SGFor the itb's to work well it's worth getting a decent exhaust 2.5" and manifold. Then you want cams/springs and the head porting and skimming to increase compression. While the head is off fit improved rods for reliable high rpm. You will then have 220 ish Bhp and around 170 ft/lb. not sure on costs but not cheap maybe 4-5k (not including the exhaust and manifold) depending on how much work you can do yourself and the current cost of the itb kit.
probably around that figure
However the question really should be ... is it worth spending all that to go ITB
Oh yeah
you simply cannot beat the sound they produce

Does it sound good at part throttle also, or do you need WOT to get it singing. The S54 in the Z4 sounds amazing but you have to WOT it before you get the sound, not many places you can use WOT for more than 6 seconds.

How old is the suspension, what wheels and what power from the Saab?

It's an LY, so yellow. Having owned it for 12 years I haven't given much thought to selling it though.What colour is your car you CBA with?Don't underestimate the importance of an "open" ECU even if you're not interested in messing about with the calibration. Mine hasn't turned a wheel in 18 mths, mainly because various small niggles that could easily be solved with ECU access mean a trip on a trailer to Northampton and because I've lost the love I CBA.
