The "turbo" failure was a failure of one of the oil seals around the turbo but the entire assembly had to be replaced. Search some of the forum messages for "blue smoke at startup" and you will find plenty. One poster actually put up a video clip of the smoking in action. The description posted by others does not match what you reported, however.
Using Mobil 1 and changing every 5k is a good practice for long turbo bearing life but the bearing life on a Saab is pretty darned good anyway. There is plenty posted here about that as well.
Good luck on getting yours fixed.
