I would imagine so. A 16G compressor housing would help a lot. May start to fall off on the top end though.

that turbo is WAY smaller than a 16g, and going to be a terrible match for a h-twentypoo

People on Saab site said the housing will bolt up?

just cause a housing bolts up doesnt mean that its compatible.
the turbine itself might be much smaller. if the turbine and the housing dont match up right, it wont be efficient.

Work yes, well no. Top-end will most likely suffer quite a bit.

top end? i guarantee it doesnt make any power over 4k.
the housing is no where close to comparable with a td05.

if it came off a saab then it was already undersized for its application. after saab dumped the t3 shit got retarded.
they have bottom ends with awesome rod stroke ratios, and really nice heads. then they fuck it up by putting in crappy cams and a super tiny turbo to give the engine some low range power. its completely bassakwards giving you end up with siiiqqq 2000rpm burn out power, and then the rides over at 3000rpm.
