1985 SPG - Sudden Loss of Boost

Hello,
Yesterday my Saab suddenly lost all boost. Car runs fine unless I try to push it a little, that is to the point that the turbo - starts - to generate boost (just before it gets into the yellow band on the boost gauge). Idles fine at about 850 RPM
I checked for disconnected or wonky vacuum hoses, but all seemed OK. I always let the car idle for 20+ seconds before shutting her down. The car has 117,000 miles on it. Only run premium fuel in the car.
I don't know if this is relavant, but on retrospect I didn't think I was getting max boost for the past few weeks. Nothing dramatic, but it did occur to me it wasn't quite as it used to be.
Any troubleshooting insight is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Barry
