I 
Saabs. I've got something 'saab related' cooking right now...
Did you know that the old saabs only had high 7:1 compression? No joke!
They upped it into the 8.x:1 range later as the fuel management got better....
And yeah, they run almost 1bar stock.

The first 911 Turbos only had like 6.5 to 1 compression. Saab came up with a great solution for boost. It's an electric device that senses detonation and instantly retards timing. People swap them onto their old school turbo volvos because they work so well. I magine a $20 junkyard J&S Safegaurd.

Not exactly, its actually an electronic boost controller. (the newer models do include timing retard as well though). It raises/lowers boost in relation to detonation. Saab APC (auto performance control). There is one in my engine bay right now... about to go online
