You must live in the UK/Europe because CSE's were not sold here (US) in '92. There's no difference between driving a Saab turbo and any other non-turbo car. However, there is a difference when not driving. You should still let the car idle for half a minute before you shut it off - this allows the oil in the turbo to cool properly. The turbo spins at very high speeds and if the oil which lubricates it is not moving, ie., when the motor is shut-off, then the oil will get very hot and form ugly, carbon-like, impediments to the turbos ability to spin freely. Some will say that this is not necessary because that particular turbo is also water cooled, but I feel it's a good practice, especially if you've just completed a high-speed highway jaunt. Other than that, just enjoy the 'new' vehicle! Good luck.
