I have no personal experience with this sort of thing but I've read lots of replies to this sort of question and the answer is that most factory turbo's are way to small for a rotary.

uhhhh...you cant just HOOK it up. it takes a lot of custom fab works just to get it to work. by what i am reading you dont seem like the type of person that has the skills to custom make all the parts you need to. search the forum, and you will find that it isnt as simple as it seems.

um, are you serious? first of all you need a manifold to fit the saab turbo. then you need an intercooler. then you need a new exhaust for the turbo (atleast downpipe) then you need some sort of way to tune it along with fuel mods ... so after just 'hooking it up' you still have to tune it which probably means piggyback or safc or standalone and what not. you are in over your head big time.

Saabs did not come with GReddy turbos.

And we're closing this before it gets any worse...

FAQ, Archives. Read them. Get some specs on that turbo, compare it to what people are running on the rotary. You will likely find it way to small.
