If the guage is not actually getting into the yellow, that means 
there is some leak somewhere. EIther on the exhaust manifold side 
before the turbo (but you would hear something), or on the inlet side 
between the turbo and the cylinder head. Check any and all rubber 
hose connections, grommets holding the plastic nipples in the inlet 
manifold, et. Especially take apart the entire high-pressure plumbing 
between the turbo and the throttle body, and check thoroughly the 
rubber connector pieces.

A long shot is that the turbo is seizing up, but that is rare. When 
you have the inlet plumbing apart, take off the tube between the air 
mass meter and the turbo inlet, and spin the turbo shaft. It should 
turn freely,. There may be some resistance due to oil viscosity, but 
there should be no noticeable drag, nor any  play.

Saab dealer or junkyard, but I'm betting the dealer is a better bet.
