The 99 Turbo was in 1978. My first turbo was a 1981 900T. So SAAB was years ahead of Chrysler and as I recall the first reliable passenger car turbos that didn't have huge spool-up lag. Our 1981 turbocharger lasted the life of the car -- we didn't punch it before the engine reached operating temperature, and we let it spool down a bit before engine off.
As far as Saab innovations -- aerodynamics in 1947? seat belts in 1958? Dual diagonal brake circuits in 1963? Collapsible steering column in 1967? (Unsafe at Any Speed was published in 1965). Etc.
