I know the Ecotech is based off the SAAB 2.0. The location of the oil filter gave that away, but how close is it in design? Will parts from the 2.0t 9.3 bolt up to the Ecotech? Because I am thinking turbo.:cool:

sum one on the cobalt forum has a sabb intake and exhaust turbo manifolds for sale so im thinking they fit

yeah the saab motors are the same ish. the intake will bolt up but may require some modification to work correctly

Yes the Saab turbo intake fits ecotec motors, I have a brand new one sitting right here I was going to use on my Saturn QC that had a 2.2 ecotec, never got around to installing it.

you can use the LNF manifold as well but the only problem is that the throttle body faces down, not a big problem but can be a little aqward to work with.
