I think it's all less of an issue because of that.
Turbos are nice, but I can never seems to find anything affordable with a turbo on the used market.

Yeah, most OBD1 issues are quite easy to bypass.
If you're looking to boost a motor, the best thing you can do fi you cant' find a OE turbo motor cheaply is to research adding boost to the motors you can find. Many diesels are extremely receptive to a little forced induction without changing much if anything to get there, often just some settings you'd be modifying with a "tune-up" anyway, such as pump timing and adjusting "max fuel" settings.
Then, of course, finding a proper turbo that will work well with your engine and expected power needs. The hardest part of installing the turbo is piping oil to it, honestly. Depending on the turbo, you'll have to install a restriction in the pressure line and make sure the drainback line is sufficient or else you'll be coking oil in the turbo. Drainback, just bolt it to a flange welded to the oil pan.
If you need any turbo information, I'd be happy to provide links for as much as I can find related to your project.
