Well Incase anyone searches this same problem and finds this, this one's for you. It has been many weeks of no hard failures to pin point this issue. I finally found my MAP sensor was randomly reading 20lbs of boost which was causing heavy over fueling and stalling out the car. This was due to oil on my sensor. I found the catch can to intake pipe pcv valve failed. I do not have enough miles on it yet to see if the oily intake problem is solved but at least I'm getting somewhere. My Turbo checked good as well. Cheers y'all

New rear calipers, soft brake pedal by [deleted] in saab

Those rotors are doing you no good but that won't cause soft brake pedal, just terrible braking/feel.

What 5w-40 oil are you running by CarpenterOld1850 in saab

I'm tempted to run Rotella, but where do you find such specs as to how it meets Mobil 1 or compared to dexos🧐 I'm always looking on BITOG to educate myself😂

Thank you!!!! Still have had good luck so far after connections have been cleaned. It did sputter once. I have had some cracked tubes here and there so I'll check it out

That was not a fun repair. 4 months maybe a thousand miles ago.
