First, a 466163 turbo is about $325 used from one of several sources easily found by googling
466163 and saab and turbo.
One simple way to tell if your turbo has failed is to pull the hose off the inlet to the turbo and spin the turbo by hand and try to move the shaft back and forth and up and down. If the turbo spins and doesn't have hardly any radial play and maybe a little axial, chances are the turbo is functional although oil control is another thing entirely.
Turbos hardly fail without a lot of screaming and noise...they may smoke but they'll make boost!
Therefore, I think something else is going on.
Like an apc or a missing/disconnected wastegate controller or somesuch.
Find another mechanic or perhaps a saabophile in your area since it's clear you don't have a mechanical clue or aptitude. Try your local saab club, they often meet once a month and have DIY programs. Even a volvo owner can help (gasp) since they sometimes own both (guilty!).
