Default Where to buy a replacement Turbo?
The turbocharger on my 97' wagon is shot. Where can I get a rebuilt or used one at a good price? Are there various models that will work? What is or are the part numbers needed?

Thanks,
zack

What model 97 do you have?

GLT - 13G
Turbo or R - 15G

Edit: You could even use this as an opportunity to swap in a bigger turbo if you're into that kind of thing.

This is a GLT that I do not want to "upgrade". My kid brother drives it to school and I just need an inexpensive fix so a regular replacement will do thanks.

How do you know it's bad? How does the car feel with a bad turbo? Did you remove it yet and bridge the gap? I'm a turbo n00b so just curious. =)

It is leaking oil and the local saab mechanic told me it needed replaced.
