The 3.0 V6 is an odd arrangement. The turbocharger is part of the front exhaust manifold. It's a GT-1549 (Garrett). I believe the GT-17 rebuild kit works for the GT-1549. Unless some cool machining can be done, you'll be stuck with another GT-1549. My V6 has almost 70K miles on it and I'm on the second replacement turbocharger (3rd total). I use synthetic oil and idle before shutdown and it still failed. I'd love to be able to adapt a ball-bearing center section to the GT-1549 turbo housing. Ebay has a seller of rebuilt turbo/manifolds for the SAAB V6 for around $550. No idea what kind of job they do?
