Turbo replacement opinion - Please!

I just had the local Saab Dealer replace a failed turbocharger on my 2002 9-5 Arc V-6. I was checking their work and the turbo is definitely new, however, I pulled the rubber coupling to the intake manifold and the rubber hose is coated with slimey oil as well as the throttle body butterfly and I assume the intake manifold? I would have to guess that everything in the path between the turbo and the intake manifold is coated with oil? There must be an intercooler hiding down there somewwhere too?
Since this was a warranty job, the Labor Time Guide probably doesn't allow them the time to do the job right. What should I do? Would it be best to figure out how to remove everything that's got an oil coating in it and clean it up myself? I don't know how difficult it is to remove the intercooler - if it has one? I like the job done right - on not at all. Am I asking too much or expecting too much? There's another Saab Dealer in the area but I doubt they would want to patch up "work done wrong"...
Or should I take it back to the Dealer and complain? There's nothing worse than a mad Mechanic working on your car -
My turbo failed on the intake side and leaked engine oil into the intake system.
I really like an opinion. Mind you, the average owner would probably not pull off plumbing to make sure they cleaned it out. It would be nice to be able to trust those working on your vehicle.
