First thing you need to do is find yourself a good independent Saab tech who already HAS "Saab smarts". You shouldn't have to educate your mechanic on Saabs. Could be a lot of things- an exhaust leak that got bigger after you heard it, (unless it no longer hisses) coupled w/a blown head gasket would cause steam, could be the diverter valve (sometimes they leak under heavy boost and sound like a hiss, though the effects aren't at all visual) or it could be just the normal sound of a healthy diverter valve releasing the charge back through your air box. Are you familiar w/ Saab turbo's, or was this your first extended drive in one? Reason I ask is that they make a lot of different noises as the turbo boosts and the wastegate / diverter valve cycle, and the noises tend to vary w/ driving and load conditions. Maybe you were driving through water and the white spray that you saw was steam coming from multiple places? Lots of heat w/Saab turbos.
