It's not as simple as slapping on a turbo. The compression ratio on the naturally aspirated car is higher than the turbo's, so you won't be able to run much boost. You'll have to sort out the engine management and other components, all of which is a healthy expenditure of time and money.
Do some suspension mods, an easy intake mod and an exhaust and then wait until you have to remove a head for whatever reason (blown gasket, valve job, etc) to have it and the intake and exhaust manifolds ported and matched. At that stage you can use slightly bigger injectors to supply more fuel to correspond with the increased airflow...
OF course, at that point you'll probably ask yourself if would have been easier to get a turbo Saab in the first place..... :) good luck with whatever you decide...
