Aside from the pistons, saabs do have forged internals, the older 9000 had all forged internals.
There is a guy who's running 450 hp on the standard B205 internals, but he's specifically pushing it to see how far it will go.
Saabs used to be built a bit tougher, but the latest generation are low friction and light weight internals to the extreme. It's all a moot point though as they're killing off the engine in the next couple years and replacing it with the a turbocharged version of the global GM V6, which was developed by saab and is supposed to have even more potential.
