Loss of Power, Turbo?

I know this is probably a silly question to ask, but I'll give it a shot...
This is about my 1996 Saab 9000 CSE Turbo.
Recently, I noticed a loss of power in my car, the car doesn't pull as well as it used to. I'm suspecting the Turbo, but it appears to be working, at least judging by the gauges. But if before, I could easily feel when the turbo kicks in with characteristic "whoosh", now it's a very delayed slow reaction with poor acceleration. It's all feely-touchy of course, maybe I'm just imagining those things.
So the questions is, can the Turbo be indeed a suspect? Is it worth $120 to check it at the dealership?
I've heard that when the Turbo dies, it dies right away, while in my case it just feels to be underperforming. I haven't had a chance yet to check the air filter yet, and all other passways. That's one possibility.
Any other clues? Transmission? Transmission fluid?
Things that have been changed before this started to happen:
- Oil was changed to synthetic (tranny shares oil on this model)
- New oil pan (prev. was cracked)
- new tires
- I also moved to Cali from PA (I thought maybe Cali gas sucks at first :)
Thanks to all in advance
