Brief description: General

The turbo on the Saab 9-5 belongs to a new turbo family, the Garrett 17 (GT 17).

Turbocharging is one of the reasons why the engine has such a high torque at low rpm. In fact the engine achieves its maximum torque already at 1800 rpm, 280 Nm for the 2.3t Ecopower and 240 Nm for the 2.0t Ecopower.
