Russell,
Maybe the turbo wasn't working properly. If it sputtered it may be a sign of a vacuum leak. I know of few other turbos that really kick you in the ass like a Saab. When running properly and accelerating through a slight curve it can feel like your arms are being pulled out of their sockets.
Tire smoking torque - not in a Saab. Most turbos are rather lethargic off the line. Where you'll really feel a Saab at its best is in accleration in 3rd and 4th gear. Great car at passing on two lane backroads.
Keep in mind that you're looking at a car with under 200hp. If you want raw power you might want to look elsewhere.
