Hey Jeff,
It sounds like you've run into some bad luck with this one. I wouldn't tell you you're wrong, because obviously you're the one who's had to deal with all these problems, and it sounds like you've done your part in taking good care of the car. Now, I don't think that it's unreasonable for certain parts to require replacement - the clutch is one of those, though 75k seems a bit short. I've got around 100k on my 99 Viggen with the original clutch. The SID thing frustrates me too - such a common problem SHOULD have been addressed via a recall, or, at the very least, a reasonably priced factory repair. The turbo problem you're facing is strange, however - these turbos should really have no problem going 200k, if proper oil is used and oil change intervals are maintained. Are you sure the turbo has gone bad? Have you ever had the oil pan dropped to check for sludge problems? At any rate, with these repairs now behind you (and unfortunately, with a lighter wallet), you should have many thousand trouble free miles - here's hoping your luck will turn around!
