My US-based import service-shop offered to flush the engine oil using some product which is used while the car is idling (not driving 1-1.5k miles). Labor to flush plus an oil change with the product of my choice for about $75.
This uses the Saab's pump, filter, and normal direction of oil flow. It seems like the better approach, since there is no 'pressure flushing' and no strain on seals and hoses the car was not designed for, and no driving for 1500 miles wondering if my turbo will choke on a loose piece of sludge. Auto-Rx and Bilstein seem like good choices for non-turbo cars, but I would be wary of the consequences for a turbocharged engine, Saab or otherwise.
