the front end collision set me back a long while for my turbo plans and i didnt have insurance so my girlfriend had to pay for all of it hahahaha.
i made her get me the jdm headlights, cornerlights, and fenders.

i then bought a full 3" exhaust

so i had my stock exhaust laying around and some guy on craigslist wanted to trade his d16z6 for my stock exhaust
so i met up with him and got it and put it in a couple days later, the timing was all fucked up thats why i think he traded it for nothing but it runs like a champ now, might need a headgasket soon but no worries.

pic of the swap.

If that Saab was front wheel drive, I'm pretty sure that's a T25.

If you're going to use an FMU, you should have just left the D15 in there and ran it till it popped. Then swap in the z6 and get some injectors and ECU and turn up the boost. At least that's what I would have done.
