>>I'd think that ~30K is too early for turbo going bad, though 5yrs of NE winter may affect that. Hopefully, it deteriorates as slowly as most predicts on this board.<<
As I mentioned, the turbo in my '01 was replaced at 40k miles. In the early years of the 9-5, early turbo failures were rampant; like the DIC, they were a regular feature of this board. Some may say they didn't really need to be replaced, some may say it was the PCV system, whatever; but a boatload of turbos were replaced under factory warranty. Maybe your problem is the turbo and maybe it isn't, but many have been replaced at comparable mileage.
