How close to Saab is the Ecotech?

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.

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.
