Had the same thing happen on a 2000 9-3 and it wound up being the GT17 turbocharger. Picked up a new replacement from swedish dynamics and the one I removed from the car wound up having a lot of shaft play. I was lucky to have caught this before I had to have the car towed.
When purchasing the replacement, SD told me that the GT17 are good for 100K miles on average before they need to be replaced.
