Given the assumption that the belt and pulleys are original, I would assume disaster looms. A rubber belt should not last 11 years and 156K miles. I'll bet that the belt was replaced at some point.
I can believe the timing chain and turbo are original. I've run many Saabs well up over 160+K on original turbo and chain. In fact, I've had plenty of high-mileage cars, and have never had to replace chains or a turbo.
The key to that is frequent oil changes, along with coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid flushes.
