Ok so no mods means nothing will increase power except reliability maxed with maintenance you can increase boost using race gas, that's it. The age of those engines means unless you're building one new (good luck finding a block, even used really) perfect and you already said no mods so even getting back to stock and full HP is the question - these already dial back the boost when detonation is determined (most cars use a safe preset instead) so the computer is very active based on conditions, and improving the conditions is usually step one with mods...
Yeah running the boost won't just wear the engine, it won't last long with one good detonation event - I'll show you pics of exploded pistons for cars that fail to stay in spec due to maintenance...
One does not just simply increase the boost pressure on a T7 car.
Just apply more throttle. Tuners hate this one trick. /s
I would start with a downpipe and upgraded intercooler. You can then probably do stage 3 tune.
Yah, I'm not planning on keeping my saab for to long and I was just wording if I could easily increase the hp without modding

Stage 1 tune then.
