2000 9-3 vent modification????

I rencently had my oil changed and was told that I needed to have a "vent modification" done. Apparently, as I'm told, they (SAAB) discovered an issued regarding oil flow into the turbo and are encouraging something that the dealer called a vent modification (i think that it partly involves changing the PCV valve). They tell me that if I don't do it that inadequate oil flow to the turbo will result, and thus "bake" the seals, etc. and ruin/burn-out the turbo. It's a 2000 9-3 with about 66k miles on it and I've had really no problems. Can someone tell me if this is a necessary repair, or have had this done? I was told that it would cost $197 for parts and labor at the dealer. Any thoughts? Thanks.
