Second turbo replacement -- Help!

Wondering what I am doing wrong. My wife's 2000 9-5 wagon, with only 36,000 miles just had the turbo replaced for the second time for smoke on startup. The first replacement was with roughly 15,000 miles on the car. In both instances, I was told it was the result of bad seals.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening. I change the oil every 2,500 to 3,500 miles, or every 6 months, whichever is sooner. The dealer had no suggestions or explanations for why this is happening. As I come off warranty, I am nervous about owning this car.
BTW, we also had to have the entire instrument cluster replaced during the same visit because it was faulty. I am also in the market for a new car for me and decided that this is my last Saab, after owning 5 prior Saabs.
Thanks for any ideas.
