Marvel Mystery Oil is great stuff -- but not in a turbo. When I first bought my 88 9kt, I wrote to Bob Sinclair (former SAAB USA pres) about Marvel Mystery Oil (and parenthetically switching over to DOT 5 brake fluid = they used it in race cars, but you had to completely redo all lines and seals), and his reply was that SAAB had found that oil additives tended to burn and cake in the lubrication tube going to the turbo unit, causing premature turbo failure.
