I think my turbo (1990 Turbo Convertible, automatic) is starting to shuffle its way off this mortal coil. Its starting to whine like a spoiled child and I'm getting some pretty nice smoke for the first minute or two that the car is running.
I clicked around the Saabnet sponsors trying to find a price on a rebuilt unit, but could not find any sellers. Maybe I did not look hard enough? Any suggestions on where to get one?
Also, there is a slim chance I could do it myself, but the extent of my working on cars is oil changes, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, very basic. Is it something a novice should attempt? It is a second car for me, so if its not running for a week or two I could live without it.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
