But to stay on topic, the turbo parts for use on an ecotec can not come from a 9^5 or any other 2.3 lire saab.

Exactly. To fit anything on the Eco you'd need to use the 2.0 saab Eco engine for the parts.
And on the turbo V6....10:1 compression and a twin scroll turbine = holy throttle response. I'm sure the pistons and rods are already forged, just a question of how much power they can take. Still, I'd drop compression to 8.5 or 9, swap to a little bit larger turbo with a front mount intercooler, P&P the heads, do a full turbo-back 3" or even 3.5" exhaust, and then get everything tuned to around 15-20psi. That would be one fast Saab sleeper that nobody would expect.
Then again...who would expect to get beat by a turbo Alero.....
