If you can hear the turbo, it's shot, they are very quiet.
Just because the flap moves doesn't mean you have boost, but you do have one working switchover valve anyway.
Check the kickdown cable for proper operation. I don't know if it works like the one on the 87, but if it does it is all the way out at closed "throttle" and all the way in wide open (backwards from the usual system where it pulls out) and if the plastic adjuster is broken, as mine is, it may not work properly. Ditto if the end has come adrift, as it will retract all the way and mimic driving with your foot to the floor all the time, and if stuck all the way out and not retracting, will not downshift properly.
Same thing goes for a bad vac line to the transmission modulator too.
