Engine knock

So I replaced my turbo about a month ago cause the seals were leaking on the old one. I had driven the car with the bad turbo on a regular basis but never saw any oil related issues, well other then the smoke out the exhaust cause of the seals. I have recently noticed a knock when I lightly let off the gas. My concern is that this engine has a spun rod bearing. I am all to familiar with this prognosis as I got this car for free becausee the old engine has a spun rod bearing. What bothers me is that I never saw the oil pressure light come on. So am I right to think the engine is on it's way out, or could it be something else. Oh and I have noticed a very prevalent harmonic to the engine under a load, you know, that whaw whaw whaw whaw that slowly speeds up with engine rpm. What do you guys think, should I sho for a new engine or stop dealing with SAABs, LOL.
