because some of them installed in production had no hole -- thus starving the turbo of engine coolant .
My theory is this -- to get the turbo to spool up quickly, saab used a relatively small turbo. A small turbo at higer gas flow will overspeed sooner. the 10,000 mile oil change interval is a joke. short trip driving w/ constant start /stop puts a lot of stress on the turbo. dirty oil adds to the problem. The mitsu turbo is better because it flows more. My personal experience ( as a 20 year Saab tech) -- I have never replaced a turbo that had regular oil changes with good quality oil. I have seen a 2k 9-5 w/ 150k and the original turbo --oil changes every 5k with conventional 10/30, driven 100 miles /day highway. I have also seen a 2k 9-3 se w/ 22k (2 oil changes at the dealer) with so much sludge the pickup screen was clogged. Completely city driven for 2 years. Basically, just change the ol and it will be fine.
