My 96 Saab 9000 has recently suffered a noticeable reduction in power. At the same gas consumption increased dramatically.
I think the turbo charger is not functioning. Any ideas ?
Thank-you in advance, Kirk

Did you check if the rod from the wastegate actuator to the wastegate arm is properly connected ? I lost the split (or whatever it's called) that's keeping it all together, and a lot of power with it. Replacement is 3 minutes and zero cost.

second picture, 'retaining clip'.
Lift the front (support on stands!), slip in under it, and take a look. 10 minute operation.
