It appears that this is not a very V6 -friendly NG. I understand however, after logging on for a while now, that four-banger turbos are the way to go. Oh well, live and learn. The next Saab will definately be set up that way. Unless as you say, this one sucks away the joy from life. The motor so far has been pretty good.(fingers tightly crossed). My VW mechanic here in Toronto couldn't find anything wrong with it. Maybe it's the SARS thing?
