I need some opinions on something. I found a fuel filter at Advanced Auto (I work there) for a 98' Saab 2.0L Turbo--(right now I have a Z32 TT for my redtop) that was dramatically larger than the Z32, seriously like 3 times the size. Not having anthying adequate to test flow with I simply blew on the "Flow -->" side of the filter and put my hand on the other. The flow difference is rediculous. The Saab filter feels like your blowing through a open hose. My question is does anyone know about anything Saab filters, considering its FI and Turbo, it seems as if it would work perfect. I figure I'd give it a try before I upgrade my turbo.

I think that it will ok,but why? A z32 has more than enough filtering properties for the SR. Unless you are getting a really good deal on it, I dont think that it would be nesesary. As for the flow, it may flow alot better but all of your fuel is then regulated by your FPR.

True true, I figured I'd give it a try. I asked around when I first got my SR about the Z32's vs. SR filters and I never got a solid answer so I ran it anyways for good measure.
