I just bought the car a few months ago. It seems to be burning a good amount when I floor it. It really goes pretty good. Seems to have a lot of power but when I look out the back in the rear view mirror, I'm very glad we live in the country. Of course it needs lots of minor fixes like new shocks etc. But I figured I'd get the engine running well before I fix anything else. I'd be anxious to hear from Brian or anyone else with turbo experience on how to tell if things are ok in that dept.
