the weirdness continues

So I picked up my car from the garage today. It was having a stalling under acceleration issue that turned out to be warn out epoxy on the distributor rotor. The mechanic fixed the epoxy since he discovered that they no longer make the rotor kits for the older Saab's. So when driving it home I noticed that yes indeed it didn't stall under load, however, what I noticed is that the turbo boosts while in 1st gear and boosts almost into the red in 2nd while accelerating to 35mph, and this is without me flooring the pedal. It seems to me that the turbo is kicking in because the engine without using the turbo is lacking power. I don't think I'll be able to get back to the garage today and they don't open again until Monday. Anyone have any ideas I could try over the weekend?
