Saab 9-5 2.3L turbo replacement

Saab 9-5 turbo replacement! A relatively easy job to do if u have mechanical expertise. The turbos go bad quite often it seems on the 9-5 especially the early models as the pcv flame trap system was poorly designed causing oil to sludge up/ clog the feed tubes to the turbo staving it from oil. Thus causing turbo failure. We commonly do the pcv update kit which had a redesigned parts and system. Also best practices to drop the oil pan and clean out the sludge and build to prevent any future issues after installing your new turbo! I can’t tell u how many times we have done this to the early 9-5s. Newer 9-5 turbo can still go bad tho but it’s almost a certain thing to drop oil pan if u know that the pcv system was not updated.
