Bring it to a muffler shop and have them braze/fix the mount on top of the cat'. They may have to braze on a nut to accept the bolt that attaches to the bracket. That bracket is CRITICAL to a healthy turbo - the service manager is wrong on this one - if you're in reverse and bump the tailpipe into a tall curb, the impact would probably result in a snapped shaft that joins the turbine to the compressor. There are other scenarios one can imagine with the same result. Here's my thoughts on your bill: it takes under 5 minutes to change the APC solenoid, but Saab gets over $200 for this item. It sounds like the waste gate repair involved reattaching the waste gate arm with a new clip to hold it on - probably another 5 minutes and a buck in parts. The bracket is just a piece of metal with a few holes in it, but Saab probably charged you anywhere from $25-50, maybe more? Your boost problem was, probably, solely due to the wastegate arm being disattached - I would have demanded the old part/solenoid, just in case it's still ok.
