Based on my years of experience with SAABs and the syptoms that you have described here, I would initially think that this is a blown head gasket.
My recommendation would be to remove the DIC and see if there is any oil around the spark plugs. If you have a gauge, you may want to check the pressure inside all of the cylinders to see if it is in spec.
If it is a blown turbo, I would buy the parts and do the work myself. If this is an lpt, you may want to see if it can be replaced with the Aero turbo, as they are supposed to be much more reliable. I believe they are made by Garrett and Mitsubishi. Though this may take re-programming of the ECU chip which monitors the engine and controls it's inputs.
Thank you, MJB
