DI cartridge choices?

I've got a '99 9-5 with the 170HP 2.3Litre LPT engine. It's got just over 60,000 miles on it, and I'm thinking of buying a "spare" DI cartridge for when it eventually goes.

Are there any performance DI cartridges out there, or doesn't such a beast exist? If I'm going to buy something, if I can get a few more HP out of the engine in the process, well, why not?

I looked around, didn't see anything useful, but anyone here know?

Doesn't exist.

Cheers!

Fair enough, was worth asking. eeuroparts.com was it, then, or where in the US is the best place to get one? Time isn't an issue.

Hi Brother Hinz

I note you drive a 1999 9-5 2.3.

I am thinking of changing from my 1996 900 to a 1999 2.3 se or Aero.

Could I ask what sort of MPG are you getting?

Are you also aware of anything I should look out for when choosing?

It varies from 25 to 27, with mixed city and rural driving (I live in a rural area, but drive 90 miles a day into downtown Milwaukee). My driving style has been described as "Spirited".

Unless you're keen on changing timing belts every 30K miles, avoid the V6. The ventilated front seats sound silly, but are very nice on a hot day. The trunk holds more than it looks like it would, and I've had no problems of note (car is at 65K miles at the moment). I'd buy another one if this one were wrecked, so I guess that says something.

The LPT engine "only" puts out 170 BHP, but it's certainly more than sufficient for enthusiastic driving. Some day I might buy an upgraded box, but it hasn't become a priority yet. I think you'd find it nice, but I've never owned an NG900 to compare it to so I have no direct comparison.
