couple of questions ...

I have a 1992 Saab 9000CD naturally aspirated and after more than a year or so of acting up, service engine light lit up, the engine shaking around 40-45 MPH, occasionally what feels like power loss, and an annoying gas pedal that is hard to push down, an interior that is dilapidating, creeks and rattles, the engine leaking oil along the front (where the downpipe to the exhaust is) I have seriously put some thought into redoing the engine. Here are my goals:
I want to convert it to a turbo, since it's basically the same engine as turbocharged Saabs I don't think I'll have a problem, it's just I dpn't know how to install a turbo and all fo the components without doing some serious damage to the engine. Help on where I could look for this information would be appreciated.
I don't know what's wrong with the engine, I have taken it to at least three dealerships, and several independent shops and yet nobody seems to be able to find what's wrong with it. I just figured, if it's just going to sit there, I'll just try to make it into a quick car. I don't see my logic, it's just I like the way the car looks and I want it to be fast, even though the engine or something is obviously wrong with some part of it.
- Should I rebuild the engine (actually have someone rebuild it)?
- What components do I need to transform it into a turbo?
- suspension and brakes upgrade suggestions?
Thanks.
