I found the problem. The one of the vacuum hoses for the bypass valve had actually backed off the throttle body. So I guess without manifold pressure to hold the bypass valve closed the boost was...

I ran those plugs for a while, they worked the same as far as I could tell. I'm just running with OEM to cross things off the list. I also only change the plugs once a year so $45 ok. I'd consider...

Well I got the hyperboost bypass valve off the car and I can definitely rule it out as the problem. Even after 7 years on the car without ever having been looked at the piston still has excellent...

Cool, they're great cars. And all is fair, I'm fishing for ideas here. Aside from a couple bad crank position sensors and DIs, my 9-5 engine has been almost completely trouble free for over 10...

I'll third the rubber mallet, also having the engine warm seems to help unstick it.

Yo, just came over from TSL. Friend's with Tweek in real life. I've got my Saab back after a year being saabless. Good to be back.

So this is where everyone is now.
