recently replaced turbo on my base '00 9-3 auto (53K mi) because of "blue-smoke on start up"
in the process i found a broken exhaust stud (#1 behind power steering pump) -- probably had been that way for a long time --
during that time my mileage was ~ 20-21 mpg - but my average speed is about that or less
after the turbo replacement (and fixing the stud) mileage has improved to 25-26 mpg -- i suspect the exhaust leak was making the engine computer run the system slightly rich...
