You may want to be proactive and change the fuel pump now (and fuel filter), if it's original it's going to fail sometime soon. Maybe retorque the heads & change the headbolts. If you can get your hands on a used DIC (or buy a new one and keep the old one), you may want to keep it in the car--it can go at any time and takes just a few mintues to change. Check out coolant hoses, vac hoses and serp belt, air filter, etc. Are you using Synthetic Oil, if not you can switch at any time. Let the Turbo rev down before you shut the car off. The newer Saab synthetic MTF made a big difference in my car--maybe they used it when they did the clutch. Sounds like the repairs you mentioned are pretty much the items that wear on these cars. Take it easy with it, maintain it, treat it right and it will be good to you.
This sight is an excellent resource for your questions.
