Did not see your first post, but a very common problem is separation of the harmonic balancer (crank pulley). If left unchecked the forward pulley section can acually start eating into your oil pump = very bad! Tell tale signs could be a squeal at start up, but the best way to check is from underneath.
Another item to check while underneath is the heat shield between the catalytic converter and body. The main wiring harness for the car runs through the center console which is right above the heat shield - although rare, there have been cases of interior fires starting because of heat from the cat melting things above it.
Standard wear items to inspect: ball joints, CV boots/joints, especially the inner boot on the passenger side which sits right above the exhaust down pipe, tie rod ends and so on.
Welcome to the Saab club and enjoy your turbo!
