turbo failures. There are reports of some, but it is more from neglect of other items, such as oil changes.
If you are specifically looking at a 1999 9-3 (hence the mention of T5), there was an "issue" with some production folks at the factory being asleep or something, where the heads were not properly/completely torqued down. This lead to early head gasket leak issues.
Nonetheless, if you find one with good service records, etc., they are gems! My 1997 NG900 is going strong at 137K miles and counting. Others report more miles and original components.
So good luck in your search. List specifics if necessary, and the "search" function can be invaluable; fortunately most topics have been discussed at great lengths here...
