Hello,

Mine is burned up and new for about $650 oem is about $950

If this is a Chinese-made turbocharger I'd steer clear even if you are going to sell the car. I used to drive and fix Saabs, and have purchased a couple rebuilt turbo units at http://www.xsboostturbochargers.com/ My brother-in-law sourced one there, too. If they don't list one online give them a call for a quote.

I have no affiliation, just a happy customer.

Those are still Chinese if you are trying to avoid that.
