I bought the car 10 years ago, and it has always had the loudest turbo of the four turbocharged Saabs ('88 9kt, '95 CSE, '01 9-5) I've owned. Very whiny/whistely. A few years ago, when it seemed that my '88 9kt was faster than my '91, I knew that the '91 had slipped. When I first bought the '91, it was a blast to drive. Looking at the car now, my exhaust pipe does show black soot, but the exhaust side turbo impeller didn't last summer, when I took it off to do the cylinder head. I'm now looking into getting the turbo rebuilt. What you say makes sense. I had not considered that a turbo could gradually fail over many years, expecting a failure would be more sudden, I suppose. I guess I had been impressed that it's gone 202K miles with its original turbo, but maybe it hasn't, really...
