The mystery of turbos and other boggling Saab quirks

Hello all,
For the record, I get my daily Saab fix from all you knowledgable chaps out there whose advice, help and experience provide a repository of knowledge no dealer or Saab themselves could ever have.
Just some questions about the turbo that have been on my mind. It is water cooled not oil cooled hence does that imply that no coking will occur and that theres no need for a turbo timer or for me to idle my car for a min or two after some spirited driving?
If turbos are so efficient and problem free vis the 2001 models onwards, why arent other manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon to improve their model line-up's performance? Guess the same thing could be said about Subaru and their boxer engines.
BMW always espouses the benefits of a rear wheel drive system that provides perfect power distribution and a 50:50 weight distribution. Should saab be doing this too?
And lastly for the record, whats the top speed recorded for your gryphons? Ive cruised(zoomed, darted..etc) at 225kmh once on a deserted stretch of the north south highway from Singapore to Malaysia... she was stable and glued to the road. the missus had no clue and was happily reading
Cheers guys and happy motoring
