Hello,
Yes the first stud on #1 and the last stud on #4 have always been a failure point on Saab turbos. I don't know if it is the cast iron they use expands and contracts too much or what. I have also noticed if the turbo support bracket is loose is missing the failure happens much earlier. Good Luck, Bernie
