Let's not go nuts on the turbo quote. Site sponsor genuinesaab.com lists the V6 turbo/manifold assembly at $441, figure $300-400 max to have it installed at a good independent. So well less than $1000. And it is, as I said previously, a wear part. They do NOT last forever. But I agree, get it checked out before panicing.
Also, sometimes a different flavor of oil will cure a turbo. I had an 85 900t that smoked like crazy at idle on Mobil1 10w-30. Switching to Mobile Synthetic Blend cured it completely. I just changed it more often. On the Volvo list I am on, a number of people swear that Mobil1 0w-40 is the bee's knees for curing this problem.
