there are a LOT of websites and forums to help you keep these cars running. If the turbo is indeed toast you can probably find a used replacement in the neighborhood of $100, or have it rebuilt (or rebuild it yourself) for not much more.
BTW - my '88 has 219,000 miles on it and is completely original except for the automatic transmission which I replaced with a 5 speed a couple years back. These motors will run forever if you maintain them even reasonably well.
