I'm not familiar with Saab engines, so don't take my word as gospel, but I'm going to say probably not.
Your entire engine is built around that turbo. Heads, pistons, rings, manifold, it's all designed for that particular setup. The ecu will likely be programmed with it in mind as well, meaning that you'd see (at best, I reckon) a check engine light that doesn't go away.
At worst? Well, we won't get into the gory details. Engines have been destroyed from too much boost and an improper setup before.
I reckon you're better off with the low pressure turbo anyway. From what I've read, the lag on them is practically non-existant. The bigger the turbine, the more lag you get. I absolutely hate turbo lag (I want my power now, dammit!) so to me that's a big turn off. You may feel differently.
