I have a 2001 9-3, and mine experienced the same symptoms as you are describing @ 15K Miles. The dealer told me it was normal at first. I then told him to keep the car overnight and start it up in the morning. After they saw the problem they replaced the turbo (under warranty)and the problem has gone away.
The dealer told me when I picked it up that it was due to a leak in the turbo, and if you don't let the car cool for a few minutes after a long trip, that it will cause the turbo to start to leak eventually.
Hope it helps.
